Buddhist Choral Music – a new web resource

From Urthona - A Journal of Buddhism and the Arts on Mon, 24 Jul, 2023 - 09:14

Buddhist Choral Music site

Sarvadarsin introduces a new web resource of Buddhist choral music: In recent years, Buddhism has spread to the West, becoming the fastest growing religion in some countries, its teachings and practices striking a chord with individuals seeking spiritual growth and inner peace. Previously, as it reached new parts of the world, Buddhism had a transformative effect on the cultures it encountered, as new Buddhists share and communicate the Buddha Dharma in ways informed by their own traditions.

Dharmabytes: Holding Diversity Within Ourselves

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 20 Jul, 2023 - 11:00

Saravantu talks about one of Triratna’s emphases - a unified Order - by looking inwards. If we turn away from elements of our own character, we will find ourselves turning away from others. A unified Order needs us to be able to turn towards all aspects of ourselves. This is a practical talk with helpful exercises to bring it down to earth.

Excerpted from the talk An Inclusive Order -Turning Away, Turning Towards, Meeting the Shadows In...
