Dharmabyte: Depth Charge! Tackling Primordial Forces Holding Us Back

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 3 Mar, 2022 - 06:00

Sangharakshita gave this previously unreleased and, rather famously, off-the-cuff talk at the London Buddhist Centre in 1979. In this excerpt we hear about Padmasambhava’s principle work of subduing the demons obstructing the establishment of the Dharma in Tibet. These demons are primordial forces existing in the depths of the human mind and collective consciousness - primordial forces holding us back need to be tackled with a depth charge! This is an enjoyable and stirring evocation of the great...

Mind and Cosmos: Towards a New Buddhist Cosmology (Part 2)

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Wed, 2 Mar, 2022 - 00:00
For almost its whole history, Buddhism has been not only presented teachings about the mind, but also about the whole cosmos. In this talk (the second in a series of three), Viryadeva attempts to show why an understanding of traditional Buddhist cosmology is key to an understanding of the Buddha's teachings. He also shows how it has direct, practical relevance to urgent contemporary problems.

Peacock Plumes in Southampton - Introducing The Amitabha Project

From Triratna News on Tue, 1 Mar, 2022 - 12:00

Since opening the centre in the converted premises of the old Plume of Feathers pub in the St Mary’s district four years ago, The Southampton Buddhist Center has been through a period of what feels like an incubation of new sangha lives. During the Covid pandemic, 20 people have had their mitra ceremonies. There have been two local ordinations and numerous ordination requests.

Now that the lockdowns have eased, these lives are interacting together in a range of endeavors that...

A Notice About Saramati's Health

From Order Connection on Tue, 1 Mar, 2022 - 11:05

Dear Friends,

As some of you may be aware, he was diagnosed in September 2020 with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and, unfortunately, struck with Covid-19 two months later. After a tense 3 week hospital stay, he recovered from covid and came home, but the virus had taken a further toll on his lungs and he has been on supplemental oxygen 24/7 since then.

Although the inital...

Slowing the Momentum of Delusion - talk

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Tue, 1 Mar, 2022 - 11:01

The six realms are created and perpetuated by our relation to our heart space. In this talk Bhadra describes the tendencies to push our life towards fantasies of growth to get the love we long for or to deny our experiences of unmet needs that often carry us into numbness, addiction and oblivion. He suggests the mirror of the wheel of life encourages us to look deeply into the felt experience of our hearts to find the life that wants...
