Everyone Talks About Compassion, But What Is It?

From London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 2 Feb, 2024 - 00:00
The challenges to leading a truly fulfilling life today may seem vastly different from those faced by the Buddha, but the principles for overcoming them remain the same. In this talk, which is the second of a series of three, Subhuti talks about how to be truly compassionate in the world we live in as he takes us through the Brahma Viharas.

A temporary opportunity to work at the North London Buddhist Centre

From Jobs, Volunteering & Communities on Thu, 1 Feb, 2024 - 14:14

Our colleague Alana has been invited on the ordination retreat,
meaning that there is an opportunity for someone to join the North
London Buddhist Centre for the four months April to July. You would be
joining a  friendly and experienced team at the Centre. To really get
the benefits of working in a team-based right livelihood we would
prefer if the person was London based, although remote working might
be possible too.

January at Adhisthana

From Adhisthana on Wed, 31 Jan, 2024 - 16:30

In community news, Caroline will be going to Akasavana this year and will be ordained by Aryajaya – we look forward to...

Effective care in the Order

From Abhayaratna Trust on Wed, 31 Jan, 2024 - 15:05

As you may be aware, the Abhayaratna Trust has been working on a Local Care Network project, aimed at helping local sanghas embody a more explicit culture of care, able more effectively to meet the needs of sangha members (and navigate the complexities of government and charity support services).

This aim is beautifully evoked in a short video by Akashamitra. In describing how Order members came together to provide care for Vidyajyoti he says, ‘I had never seen anything like it before’....
