Suffering Isn't So Bad

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Fri, 14 Oct, 2022 - 00:00
Our new theme ‘Radical Reality’ continues with a talk from Satyajyoti that turns conventional wisdom on its head. Encounter the radical teachings of the Buddha - teachings which are immediately apparent, perennial and of the nature of a personal invitation. Hear the Dharma that enables us see into the constantly changing nature of reality and free ourselves and others from suffering. The Buddha's teaching was not given to be convenient, comfortable or to fit in with the ways of the world. The Dharma gives us a radical take on how things are - be prepared to be challenged!

This talk was given in a tent in Devon - and the sounds of this great Dharma celebration are everywhere around as Sangharakshita marks his entry to the ‘Dharma Parlour’ with a rolling set of thoughts and reminiscences and encouragements to practice.

Pure Presence: The Basis For Seeing Clearly

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Thu, 13 Oct, 2022 - 00:00
In June 2023, Order Members and Mitras Training For Ordination gathered together in a big marque set up in Taraloka's beautiful grounds to listen to a series of talks and guided meditations led by Vajradevi on the theme of the Satipatthana Sutta

Reflecting on the theme of the weekend Vajradevi said: "When we’re mindful and present to what’s happening – both ‘internally’ and ‘externally’ – our responses become steady, wise, and confident. Whatever we’re doing, whether we’re meditating, working, communicating, or singing, becomes a vehicle to ‘grow’ awareness. Mindfulness becomes panoramic and we live with immediacy and creativity."

Talk 1 of 3.
