Death of Dharmopeta

From Order Connection on Sun, 25 Jul, 2021 - 10:15

Dear Order Members,

Dharmopeta died just after midday on Sunday 25th July, in Te Hopai home and hospital, Wellington, New Zealand. She had lived at Te Hopai since 2017 when her Parkinson’s condition meant she could no longer live on her own.

Growing Food and Spiritual Practice

From Vegan Buddhist on Sat, 24 Jul, 2021 - 14:17

Learning to grow my own food has led to a big shift in consciousness – from the detachment of living exclusively on restaurant-served or shop-bought produce to the grounding intimacy of eating home-grown fruit and veg – and helped me greatly on the path toward veganism.

In 2015 I got involved in a community garden in inner city Dublin, not far from the Dublin Buddhist Centre (DBC). At the time I was living in a first floor flat with no outside...

Dharma Day is our yearly celebration of the Buddha’s first communication of the way to Enlightenment.

Today, each time we hear and understand the Buddha’s teachings, that same wheel continues to turn.

Buddhism and Politics - A Series by Vajragupta

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 24 Jul, 2021 - 15:53

Should Buddhist sanghas and Buddhist Centres get involved in politics or remain politically neutral? When political debate can be so fractious and polarised, how can Buddhists make a helpful contribution?

In this ambitious and challenging series, Vajragupta asks us to reflect on our political views and conditioning, so as to come to a deeper appreciation of what a Buddhist perspective might be.

Abortion, Buddhist Ethics and Amitabha's Love

From Glasgow Buddhist Centre on Fri, 23 Jul, 2021 - 00:00
A sensitive exploration of the issues surrounding abortion and an introduction to Buddhist ethics, that begins with a short evocation of Amitabha. Throughout, Pasadini encourages reflections on the role of sexuality and the internal, external and cultural contexts within which women make the decision of what to do when faced with an unintended pregnancy. Her exploration ends with a rousing call to develop compassion and wisdom for ourselves and others facing ethical dilemmas.  Pasadini is part of Glasgow Buddhist Centre's spiritual leadership kula, is on the teaching team at Danakosa and worked for a number of years at a reproductive health clinic in the USA.
