Nominations and Applications invited for International Order Convenor

From Order Connection on Sun, 29 Jan, 2023 - 20:19

Overview

A process has started, and the more Order Members who are involved, the more likely we are to appoint the most suitable person. There could even be someone who currently may not imagine themselves in this role, and you could suggest them.

Please let us know (a) if you’re interested yourself or (b) if you would...

Dharmabytes: Dharmas Are Dreamlike

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 26 Jan, 2023 - 06:00

From Shabda Articles on Wed, 25 Jan, 2023 - 11:05

These days the pages of Shabda are often graced with references to mahamudra teachings, insight inquiry, 10 fetters practices and so many other teachings. It is wonderful that Order Members are deepening their going for refuge in many and various ways, and clearly the language with which we express these deepenings has evolved significantly over the last decades. However I wonder whether we in the Order sometimes fall into the trap of ultraism. In this short article I explore what...

Differing Views, Deepening Harmony

In a world divided by conflicting views can we set a better example?  
Can we lightly hold our differing points of view within an ever deepening harmony?  

Inspired by Amoghasiddhi, who holds a vision of unity in his left hand, our weekend will include his Sadhana and Puja.

On Saturday morning, Subhadassi will talk about his role as ‘Order Ethics Convenor’. 
In addition to this presentation, we will also be hands on. We’ll...
