Медитация: буддийский путь покоя и прозрения, Камалашила
Перевод с англ.: Е. Харькова
ISBN 978-1-291-16460-2

Книга: Медитация. Буддийский путь покоя и прозрения - исчерпывающее руководство по теории и практике буддийской медитации, написанное непринужденно и доходчиво. Она знакомит с начальными методами медитации, а тем читателям, у которых уже есть опыт, дает подробные советы, которые помогут углубить практику.

С одной стороны, это практическое пособие, содержащее множество полезных сведений, в том числе рекомендации по исправлению ошибок и недочетов, а также описания тех нежелательных состояний, в которые можно попасть в процессе медитация. С другой стороны, это исследование принципов, лежащих в основе буддийской медитации, и ее подлинных целей: полной осознанности, здорового эмоционального настроя и самой высшей - прозрения истинной природы реальности, которое ведет к освобождению.

The continued existence of humans and other species is at risk if we don’t change our ways.

Making Zoom meetings more disabled-accessible

From Triratna Safeguarding on Mon, 23 Aug, 2021 - 09:47
  • Blindness icon

Making the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha more accessible to anyone is obviously part of our practice. (And discrimination by an organisation on the grounds of disability is also illegal and a Safeguarding matter in the UK.)

Many thanks to those at the Manchester Buddhist Centre (UK) for this guide to making Zoom meetings more accessible for those with disabilities or impairments.
