Bhante on Plotinus and Neoplatonism

From Shabda Articles on Tue, 23 Aug, 2022 - 19:24

I recently spent a few weeks staying as a guest of the mens’ community at Adhistana, using the library to study Bhante’s writings about Plotinus and Neoplatonism, and from that I’ve written this reader “Bhante on Plotinus” which I’m making available here as a Shabda article.

Could you be the International Movement Coordinator?

Could you be the International Movement Coordinator?

From Jobs, Volunteering & Communities on Tue, 23 Aug, 2022 - 15:28

Since the inception of the International Council (IC) no single person or organisational body has held responsibility for, or held an overview of, the international Movement strand.  The international Movement comprises six geographical Areas, each of which has various levels of internal coordination but little cross-area communication. Consequently, the structure of the international Movement has remained relatively undeveloped in comparison with the structures of the Order and College.  The Order has two international Order Convenors, an established and effective...

Trusting Love

Maitrisiddhi shows us the importance and value in holding the ideal of spiritual friendship alongside the reality of life in the Sangha. Our teacher Sangharakshita has said: “It is in friendship (maitri) that we may find the emotional equivalent of the intellectual understanding of the doctrine of ‘no self’”. The gift of these teachings can help us move beyond self-clinging into a deeper and far more mysterious connection with one another; a Greater Love.

Excerpted from the talk entitled ...
