The high streets are waking from their slumber, and we’re anticipating further easing of the lockdown. There are many questions; is it safe, when will travel be possible, when can I spend time with friends and loved ones in person again, what will happen with work and the economy?

Like many others I’ve also been involved in conversations about race and the growing anti-racism movement. I’ve been thinking about my own place and what I can do, exploring my conditioning, and listening...

Dharmabyte: The Art of Engagement and the Art of Letting Go

From the talk entitled Spiritual Receptivity and Spiritual Community given with a series of talks organised by the Cambridge Buddhist Centre, 2014, called ...

This week we’re giving away The Breath by Vessantara. You can download it here until 29 June. This is the first of the three short books we’ll offer over the coming weeks: The Breath, The Body and The Heart. Each one deals with a central area of mindfulness and meditation.

FBA Podcast: Entrance Into the Heart of the Mandala

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 20 Jun, 2020 - 14:00
