Spiritual Friendship and the Four Tantric Rites

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Sat, 3 Aug, 2019 - 00:00
The talk was part of an Order/mitra retreat and takes as its theme the relationship between the four tantric rites and spiritual friendship. This retreat took place two weeks after the critical Observer article 21st July 2019 and Maitrisara uses the four rites as a lens to reflect on how the Sangha can most creatively respond to situations that such public criticism evokes.

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Fri, 2 Aug, 2019 - 01:00
First talk from a Sangha night series. Who is Milarepa and more importantly how is he relevant to us?

This brings hope to all of us, he changed so we can change...

Order Metta - August 2019

From Order Connection on Thu, 1 Aug, 2019 - 14:00

A Wave of Metta Around the Globe:
First Sunday of the month Order Metta 8 a.m. (local time)
Sunday 4th August 2019           

“In cultivating metta, we are trying to develop what one might call the higher emotions, that is, those emotions that provide us with means of bringing together our everyday consciousness and something more purely spiritual. Without such a possibility we have no way of approaching either the higher ranges of meditative experience – called dhyana – or Enlightenment...

Dharmabyte: A Collective Inner Sleep

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 1 Aug, 2019 - 14:00

We have a collective inner sleep going on when it comes to climate change. In Buddhist terms we call this ‘avidya’, ignorance, which literally means ‘not seeing’ which brings out the active process of ignoring certain aspects of reality, especially those things we believe to be a threat.

This short talk by Dayajoti serves as an introduction to a guided ‘climate’ meditation which can be listened to here: Consensus Trance – Climate. Given at Bristol Buddhist...

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.
