Dharmabyte: What is Art?

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 28 Apr, 2022 - 06:00

INVITATION TO WEEKEND RETREAT

From Frome Triratna Group on Wed, 27 Apr, 2022 - 12:44

Remember meditation retreats?

That chance to go off-line, forget about To Dos, relax in beautiful countryside, meditate more deeply and open to the radiance of your mind.

I’d like to invite you to enjoy all of this once again, or perhaps for your first time. Come on a four day retreat over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend 1-5 June with me and others from Frome.

The retreat takes place at Adhisthana, an international Buddhist Centre near Malvern. It’s open to complete newcomers as well as experienced meditators....
