From London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 8 Mar, 2024 - 00:00
Padmavajra gives a celebratory full moon talk on The Wondrous House of the Dharma. He explores what it means to come together in a Buddhist centre to practice the Dharma and why we need such places in which to practice together. He touches on the importance of learning the Dharma, inspiration, friendship and the 'bodying forth' of the Buddha's teachings in our lives.

Dharmabytes: The Beauty of the Buddha

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 7 Mar, 2024 - 11:00

Dayanandi contemplates the words of the Tiratana Vandana and the qualities of the Buddha that it evokes. She says: “I reflect on the words as they seem to bring out the reality of his Enlightened being for me; what it might be like to really be the Enlightened One.” Excerpted from the talk Reflecting on the Buddha in the Forest given at Manchester Buddhist Centre, 2019.

Order Harmony Online

From Order Connection on Wed, 6 Mar, 2024 - 13:51

Dear Order members,

We’d like to invite you to an online forum exploring Order harmony. Please come and join the International Order Convenors to explore the topic:

‘How do we practise harmony in the Triratna Buddhist Order?’

The topic has arisen from the Order Survey and Forums we conducted last year. There will be a series of speakers exploring the topic in recorded videos and then time to explore the theme in break-out groups. 

To accommodate different time zones there will be two sessions, at the following times:

Kindness Revolution - Meditation Night

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 6 Mar, 2024 - 00:00
Shantideva speaks about the perfection of meditation in terms of a deep realisation of the sameness of self and other and so releasing boundless metta. It would be wonderful if we could sail straight into this transcendental love whenever we sit to do the metta bhavana, but you may have noticed that things are not usually that straightforward to say the least! This week we’ll be directly exploring and practising a fundamental principle of metta practice, whereby we learn to cultivate kindness and awareness in relation to whatever arises in our experience right here and now. This allows us to plant and nurture seeds of metta even when the practice seems to be far off what we think it should be.

Competition: Help Animate Mara's Army!

From Triratna News on Tue, 5 Mar, 2024 - 19:34

Dear Families, 

I’m creating a video about the life of the Buddha. 

Support Aryajit’s new animated work: ‘A Brief History of Buddhism in Six Minutes’

One of the most enjoyable parts of creating the video is drawing Mara (the “Lord of Death”) and his army, who try to stop the Buddha gaining Enlightenment by attacking him. I have been drawing beings from indian mythology, like Raksanas and Yaksas, but also skeleton armies, dinosaurs, dragons (as you can see from the attached sketches)...

Shinran: A Transcendental Critique of the Dharma Life As Ego Project (Talk 2 of 2)

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Tue, 5 Mar, 2024 - 00:00
Exploring Shinran, the Buddha and Bhante. We’re all ‘bombu’ – conditioned, foolish, finite beings ‘forever drowning and wandering without ever knowing the path to liberation’ – and yet we are also always illumined by the golden light of Buddha – ‘grasped never to be abandoned’. What happens when we live in full awareness of these two aspects of our experience? Talk 2 of 2 given to members of the Triratna Buddhist Order. Suitable for experienced practitioners only as a sound base of experience and Dharma knowledge is taken for granted.
