Staying In Touch

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 14 Aug, 2019 - 00:00
The third step in bringing about the goal of Enlightenment is remembering: recalling our desire and decision to do what is needed. Bodhinaga talks about three qualities of mindfulness and highlights the central importance of the mind in Buddhism. Using metaphors from the Bodhicaryavatara, he draws out how mindfulness can transform our lives, both as a defence against negative, reactive patterns and in actively developing the heart and mind of a Bodhisattva, 'one who cares more for others than they care for themselves'. Part 4 in the 'Path to Awakening' Sangha night series at Sheffield Buddhist Centre. Read chapter 5 of the condensed Bodhicaryavatara (available on the Sangha Night section of the website at the time this talk was uploaded) to accompany this week's talk. Points for reflection and discussion: Is there a situation in which it would be good for you to 'act like a block of wood' this week? What is your experience of the mindfulness of breathing meditation? What are the benefits of mindfulness in your life? Recorded at Sheffield Buddhist Centre 13.08.19

A New College Website

From Order Connection on Thu, 1 Aug, 2019 - 11:24

Dear Order Members,

When I first met FWBO/Triratna there were less than 100 Order members. Now there are nearly 2,300. Back then all the ordinations were performed by Bhante and we all knew each other. When he started handing on his responsibilities the College of Public Preceptors had just five members. All but one of these original preceptors have now retired and with another generation of Order members coming forward there are now some 44 College members around the world.

The inspiration for this particular Convention has been to make the programme more retreat-like as well as also having forum spaces to facilitate Order debate and dialogue and we get a sense of how it is going on its second full day.
