Agua (Water): A Day in the Life of Suryavana

Agua (Water): A Day in the Life of Suryavana

From Suryavana Retreat Centre on Mon, 9 Mar, 2020 - 14:06

As Suryavana is completely “off-grid” in every sence; water, wastewater, electricity., which we produce our own via solar panels and recycling organic/inorganic materials; every couple weeks we take a ride up in the van to a famous spring at Bejis (about 40 minute ride) which distributes bottled water for the whole region. Very popular in Valencia. Enjoy my video project for the morning spent doing the round trip- Sudaka

Dharmabyte: The Vajra: Two Meanings in One

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 9 Mar, 2020 - 13:00

We often get ideas about the symbolism of the vajra as being tight and wilful. The language of determination can do that!

Jvalamalini looks at the importance of clarity of purpose for simplicity and meaning in life, and the powerful symbol of the vajra. This diamond-thunderbolt symbol is really more about integration then it is about powering through obstacles regardless of what the rest of our being is up to.

From the talk entitled Vajra: Symbol of Integration given at...

Surrendering the Self

From London Buddhist Centre on Mon, 9 Mar, 2020 - 00:00
Tantric Buddhism is concerned with the direct experience of who we are and what we can become. Its aim is to help us realize our potential by transforming the energy locked in by old habits, fears, and views. This experience cannot be mediated by concepts; it needs to be evoked with the help of symbols.

Overcoming the 'culture wars' - towards understanding between left and right

From Shabda Articles on Sun, 8 Mar, 2020 - 11:55

Dear friends, attached here is an essay about contemporary politics, a plea for understanding between left and right. It is based on the work and research of the American moral psychologist Jonathan Haidt, especially his book The Righteous Mind. 

It is pretty clear that the urgent and critical issues of climate change and environmental degradation, can only be dealt with by promoting a non-partisan approach articulated in a language that both sides of the political divide can sign up to.

Unfortunately there is very...

Buddhism and Inequality

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sun, 8 Mar, 2020 - 00:00
What has Buddhism got to say about the growing levels of inequality in many societies? What would a society based on Buddhist values look like? This talk is Vajragupta's personal response to "The Spirit Level", by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, a book about inequality that made a big impact when it was first published in 2009. This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in February 2020 as part of our Saturday Sangha morning series.
