Dharmabyte: The Super Powers of the Dharma

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 3 Aug, 2020 - 14:00

Satyalila offers a clear and practical guide to how our spiritual journey can consist in transforming the ‘poisons’ (greed, hatred, delusion, pride and envy) with (and ultimately into) the five spiritual faculties (faith, wisdom, mindfulness, samadhi and energy-in-pursuit-of-the-good).

Ordination in Poland

From Order Connection on Mon, 3 Aug, 2020 - 09:56

Dear Friends,

I am delighted to confirm the first ordination of an Order Member in Poland. The ex-Wojciech Janowski from the Krakow Sangha was ordained during a short retreat south-east of the city. His private ordination was on Thursday 30 July and his public ordination on Saturday 1 August.

Wojciech becomes Maitrinanda, a Sanskrit name meaning ‘He whose joy is love’.

His private preceptor is Santaka and I am his public preceptor.

Bodhicitta Practice and Order Resources

From Order Connection on Fri, 31 Jul, 2020 - 20:46

Sunday Order Bodhicitta Practice
Sunday 2nd August
