2025 Karuna Appeals!

By Ruciramati on Fri, 6 Dec, 2024 - 08:50

FULL RESIDENCIAL appeals are back! If you volunteer for a Karuna appeal, you live together as a community and form life-long bonds with your fellow volunteer fundraisers.

Appeals are about stepping outside yourself and meeting what is alive! It encourages you to reflect on how you communicate with both yourself and others in this 6 week process of transformation and growth.

Applications open for 2025 - we supply a financial support package to help make this happen!

Nowhere more so than in India where the rapid nation-wide lockdown on 22 March has resulted in untold misery and hardship for many millions of daily labourers unable now to leave their homes to work and feed their families. Even worse hit are the many...

'Secret Wings' by Sangharakshita

By Abhayamaitri on Sun, 16 Aug, 2015 - 20:58

We cry that we are weak although
We will not stir our secret wings;
The world is dark – because we are
Blind to the starriness of things.

We pluck our rainbow-tinted plumes
And with their heaven-born beauty try
To fledge nocturnal shafts, and then
Complain ‘Alas! we cannot fly!’

We mutter ‘All is dust’ or else
With mocking words accost the wise:
‘Show us the Sun which...
