Dharmabyte: Keeping Good Company

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 26 Mar, 2020 - 13:00

Here Padmasuri shares stories of friendship between the early Buddhist nuns and the Buddha. Featuring glimpses into the lives of Mahapajapati, Patajara, Dhammadinna, Kisagotami, Mitta, Queen Mallika.

Tout était prêt ce matin là : nous descendons les escaliers qui sépare notre communauté du centre pour aller saluer l’autel,...

The Unexpected Intimacy of Online (The Dharma Toolkit Daily, Episode 2)

From The Community Toolkit for Uncertain Times on Tue, 24 Mar, 2020 - 11:41

Today’s episode brings friends together from Ireland, England and the USA to look at the very technology that connect us for use in things like this. Come and get meta with us about Zoom!

With the launch of our daily meditations we discuss how better versions of the Internet and its underlying technologies mean an evolution – and possibly a revolution – in how we conceive of Buddhist practice (and everything else) in community.
