FBA Podcast: Not About Being Good - Beyond Guilt

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 17 Oct, 2020 - 05:10

Buddhist ethics are not about conforming to a set of conventions, not about ‘being good’ in order to gain rewards. Instead, living ethically springs from the awareness that other people are no different from yourself. You can actively develop this awareness, through cultivating love, clarity and contentment, which can ultimately help us to come into greater harmony with all that lives.

Further Update on Prajnapriya's health

From Order Messenger on Fri, 16 Oct, 2020 - 12:37

Dear friends,

Thanks, again, for your kind words and thoughts, which have brought with them a mandala of warmth.  Prajnapriya was discharged from hospital on Monday and is back at Vajraloka.  The heart specialist didn’t want to take any action after the angiogram but will recall him to hospital in a month’s time for further assessment.  Prajnapriya is now convalescing in a specially prepared room in the retreat centre building, eating regular meals, and the fire doors have been loosened...

Could you help support Taraloka through the Covid-19 pandemic?

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Thu, 15 Oct, 2020 - 16:51
