Further update on health of Vijayamuni

From Order Connection on Thu, 8 Jul, 2021 - 11:15

Dear brothers and sisters,

Vijayamuni returned to hospital for a day last week due to an increase in pain. While there they found two new tumors in his lower spine.

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 8 Jul, 2021 - 06:00

Buddhism and Politics - Talk 1

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Tue, 6 Jul, 2021 - 00:00
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 talk, 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. First of a series of three talks given for Buddhist Action Month 2021.
