Dharmabyte: Enter Mara, The Evil One

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 19 May, 2022 - 06:00

Maitrisiddhi, in her usual lively, inspiring and practical way, poses the questions: How we can recognise the insidious voice of Mara, embodiment of everything that holds us back from practising the Dharma? How do we relate to inner voices which undermine our confidence and best efforts? Can we, like Lochana, touch the earth with clarity and confidence in our path?

From the talk Lochana and Mara: Clarity and Doubt, given at ...

New e-zine for the women’s sangha in Ireland

From Community Highlights on Wed, 18 May, 2022 - 17:32

Last year, in the context of the Covid pandemic and the temporary closure of the Dublin Buddhist Centre, six of us got together with the idea to develop an e-zine for women in the Triratna community in Ireland. In doing this we were much inspired by the example set by Alokavira and friends in developing their print zine ‘Born of Fire and the Void...

Resignation of Dayarakshita

From Order Connection on Mon, 16 May, 2022 - 17:05

Dear Order members

I am writing to let you know that Dayarakshita, originally from Deal but more recently from Sheffield, has resigned from the Order. Dayarakshita was ordained at Tiratanaloka in July 2014, with Subhadramati her private preceptor and myself her public preceptor. I have been in contact with both Dayarakshita and Subhadramati, and have accepted her resignation. You can read her resignation letter below. She will be reverting to her birth name of Sally.

We wish her well.

With metta,

Ratnadharini

Dharmabyte: The Importance Of Hopes + Dreams

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 16 May, 2022 - 06:00

After telling the story of Mara’s assault on the Buddha, Lokeshvara looks at it from a modern perspective and with reference to the System of Meditation. Of particular interest is a section of the prevalence of depression in our society and current research which identifies the need for purpose in our lives. If we have a sense of purpose, that almost always connects to deeper values, if we can just see how.
