Vajragupta explores the Buddhist attitude to nature. We live in a time of threat to the ecosystem. How can human beings live with more love and appreciation of the natural world? What does Buddhism have to offer? Talk given at Manchester Buddhist Centre, 2011.
Do you want to help improve the quality of meditation teaching in your Buddhist Centre? Our upcoming meditation mentoring retreat will cover three main areas:
Help you deepen your own meditation practice, so that you can teach others.
Help you to become a better meditation teacher.
Help you to more effectively mentor people or befriend people when in dialogue with them one-to-one about their meditation practice.
This retreat will be a hybrid retreat - in Adhisthana in person and with online groups for people who can’t make it...
Love, compassion and wisdom are sewn into the fabric of existence. When these qualities arise in our own experience, can we recognise them, trust them, and allow them to transform us? And when do we dismiss them, or cling to them unhelpfully?
Talk given on the June Women’s AOWE held at Taraloka in 2022.
Maitreya - Buddha of the Future and bodhisattva of Metta or Maitri - embodies both our potential for Enlightenment, and our potential for love. Although central on Triratna's Tree of Refuge and Respect, Maitreya remains little-known. Here, Maitrisiddhi, whose yidam is Maitreya, explores this figure from the inside.
Given on the Women's Area Order Weekend held at Taraloka in June 2022.
