Dhammarati on Sikkha - a new project to review and develop training in the system of practice

By dhammamegha on Mon, 30 May, 2016 - 18:24

I recently interviewed Dhammarati about an emerging project about the system of training in Triratna. It goes by the name of Sikkha (with a long a), which is a Pali word meaning ‘spiritual training’. It is about deepening our understanding of what and how we practice and teach within the Triratna community, and developing an explicit shared framework to talk about it. 

Here, Dhammarati reflects on what is essential in Buddhist practice: a growth of awareness which leads to positive and rich emotion and a move away...

Community living come-back weekend

By Munisha on Mon, 2 May, 2016 - 23:28

Community living has had something of a renaissance in Triratna in the UK in the last few years with demand for places exceeding supply.

Aryadhara writes about a successful weekend at Adhisthana, 25th-28th March - including a Swedish film about how not to run a community.

“At their best, communities are about going beyond ourselves and living for each other. Adhisthana recently hosted an inspiring weekend around the theme of creating and sustaining vibrant spiritual communities. With much experience of...

Satyaraja and Kamalashila talk about meditation

By Saccanama on Wed, 16 Mar, 2016 - 13:27

In the last of our audio interviews from the March 2016 Preceptors’ College meeting, Satyaraja and Kamalashila share some reflections about their personal practice of meditation. It’s a lovely discussion between two people who are dedicated to meditation as a key way to work with the mind and discover more deeply the nature of it. We hear particularly about the devotional aspects of meditation, which is another way into the idea of insight itself. And about meditation retreats - solitary and...
