From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 12 Oct, 2020 - 05:10

Padmavajra tells the tale of Bahiya of the Bark Cloth demonstrate his ability to instantly wake others up to Reality. The Buddha was the first of the Mahasiddhas, or Great Perfected Ones.

If your website is showing to some as 'unsafe'...

If your website is showing to some as 'unsafe'...

From Triratna Resources on Thu, 8 Oct, 2020 - 09:53

This from Dhammamegha:

We have had some trouble at Windhorse Publications earlier this year where access to the site was blocked for potential users. It turned out that there was a Vodafone algorithm that was wrongly applied to us. This applied to both Vodafone contracts and broadband supplied by them, including by third parties. Vodaphone’s algorithm made the judgement that the site contained indecent or inappropriate material. 

Because I’m a Vodafone user, I know that there are other Triratna sites that have had similar...

Dharmabyte: How does Buddhism speak to us?

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 8 Oct, 2020 - 05:10

Here Sangharakshita explores how Buddhism, being the most rational of religions, appeals no less to the heart than to the head, using the language of myth to do so. Examples are four ‘myths’ from the Buddha’s biography, here correlated with four of Jung’s archetypes.

From the talk entitled Buddhism and the Language of Myth, part of the series Ritual and Devotion in Buddhism, 1967.

How to Develop Spiritual Friendship: the Four Tantric Rites An Introduction

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Wed, 7 Oct, 2020 - 00:00
Triratna holds up the ideal of spiritual friendship; this model can help us be proactive in developing our own capacity for friendship and connection. Before we do that it's helpful to recognise our own conditioning around friendship and think about how that plays out as we encounter the Sangha.
