On Day 11 we welcome Shraddhavani, who joined the Dharmachakra Board of Trustees just over a year ago.
Initially dismayed that her favourite talk had already been selected by another team member, a further look through the many speakers who inspire her surfaced a beautiful talk given in 2020 by Parami on the mythical creature, the ‘windhorse’…
In this first podcast of 2021 we turn to the magic of inner transformation, with a special episode to mark our forthcoming Home Retreat on meditation: ‘The Alchemical Heart’ with Paramananda.
Happy New Year! May 2021 prove a kinder, more hopeful year for all.
First in a three talk series exploring the Rumi quote: 'Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.'
Session two this time delving into the challenging but necessary process of forgiveness.
Depending on our life experiences this can be extremely challenging, do be sensitive to yourself. Maybe the most important thing to do is forgive the parts of ourselves which are holding onto past hurts.
Final talk in the series. Personal and in process, Dharmashalin evokes his own experience of closing down as a protection and the price we pay for doing so. No clear answers, but an invitation to explore this crucial topic.
On Day 10 Parami recommends a scintillating title by Sangharakshita entitled simply Padmasambhava. Originally unreleased (because it was given off-the-cuff after Sangharakshita lost his notes!), this inspired talk sees Triratna’s founder intrigued by the Great Guru’s ability to transform the demons of the world, especially in the West.
In the Dhaniya Sutta, the questions arise: ‘how do we move in this world with a freedom to be creative?’ and ‘how often do we follow the addictive tendency?’ Saddhanandi looks at vertical and horizontal nourishment as she explores these questions.
Vidyamala’s pioneering work in the field of mindfulness for chronic pain has helped transform many people’s lives. Speaking from personal experience, Laura shares how she has benefited from access to these kinds of practice resources.
Feliz año a todxs.
Salud y Fuerza a todxs para 2021.
Aquí voy compartiendo algo de la vida en Suryavana.
Estamos viviendo con la familia y otros dando cariño y vida a nuestro proyecto Triratna aquí en Jérica. Provincia de Castellón.
Saludos. Dharmachari Sudaka
Here, Ratnaprabha discusses the value of using images and the imagination to become more emotionally involved in practice. Is an image of a Buddha or Bodhisattva used in meditation real or not?
