The Wheel of Life Course

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Thu, 27 Jan, 2022 - 13:41

Delve into this ancient Tibetan image, starting with the heart of it. The Wheel of Life can be seen as a mirror. It reflects to us how we are in the world.

Join Bhadra in an exploration of this beautiful and terrifying image. And learn how to get off of the Wheel of Life (that’s a good thing!)

Dharmabyte: Apologies and Forgiveness

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 27 Jan, 2022 - 06:00

Our friendships with one another rely on apologies and forgiveness. In a talk describing the characteristics of the True Individual, a teaching from Sangharakshita, Subhadramati describes how the act of apology and forgiveness have the capacity to completely transform a friendship. 

From the talk entitled The True Individual given at Cambridge Buddhist Centre, 2017.

Ordination in Birmingham

From College of Public Preceptors on Tue, 25 Jan, 2022 - 20:19

Dear friends,

I am delighted to announce that she who was Doreen Wilson from the Birmingham Sangha was ordained today, in her flat in Solihull. Doreen’s health has deteriorated rapidly in the last week, so it was decided to ordain her at home in the presence of a few friends in the Order and Mitra Sanghas, as well as most of her immediate family. It was both a joyous and poignant occasion.
