Thank You and Update on the Order Practice Survey

From Order Connection on Wed, 3 Jul, 2019 - 16:39

Thank you to many of you who have done the Order Practice questionnaire. So far 235 Order members have done the questionnaire online. We’ve also had quite lot of requests for printed copies. In my own chapter we’ve started using the prompts for reflection and I’ve heard of other chapters using them too. Personally I’ve found the conversations that have come out of that enriching and inspiring. It would be great to hear how it’s going if you’ve been using...

Podcast - A Gathering of Hearts and Minds

From Buddhist Centre Features on Tue, 2 Jul, 2019 - 17:52

“It’s more than the talks and the meditation and the puja - amazing as I’m sure they’ll all be - it’s also the gathering of hearts and minds, the chatting over cups of tea, the workshops…and just being together in that space.”

The 2019 Triratna International Gathering is fast approaching - it’s a wonderful opportunity for those in our community to come together to share their practice and inspiration and to develop friendships. But what’s it like to...

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 1 Jul, 2019 - 16:19

In our FBA Dharmabyte today we are introduced to Kachu Rimpoche by Vajratara one of Sangharakshita’s eight main teachers.

In 1960, on Jampyang Khyentse’s recommendation, Kachu Rimpoche initiated Sangharakshita into the practice of Guru Padmasambhava. At the same time Kachu Rimpoche gave Sangharakshita a new name: Urgyen,...

From Buddhist Action on Sun, 30 Jun, 2019 - 08:27

A range of activities this year. A highlight was last Wednesday’s The Time is Now for environmental action. That brought Polly and myself from the Ipswich Sangha and thousands more to central London. Workshops at St Martin’s in the Fields, then a ‘walk of witness’ along Whitehall, talks in Church House, and lobbying MPs from all the main political parties. A good number of Buddhists there and uplifting communication with a wide range of people.

I’ll remember Anya, the youngest speaker, who is...
