Une excuse

By Ujumani on Sun, 5 Jul, 2015 - 22:18

Depuis que nous avons publié le livre Poèmes de Sangharakshita, il y a quelques années, je n’étais pas retourné à la traduction de ses poèmes, parfois avec un peu de regret, mais dans le tournbillon de ma vie je n’en ai pas pris le temps. Le Mois d’Action Bouddhiste qui s’achève vient de m’en donner l’occasion, et je copie ci-dessous ma traduction de son poème An Apology (Une Excuse), écrit en 2009.

Glasgow Karuna Appeal: BAM 2015

By Moksadhi on Wed, 10 Jun, 2015 - 15:13

Hello! Sarah here writing on behalf of the Glasgow 2015 Women’s Karuna Appeal.

For BAM 2015 I have joined a team of 4 courageous women, led by the wonderful Sangamani, who are knocking on doors in Glasgow to raise funds for the Karuna Trust. For me, door knocking to support people in India who desperately need our help encapsulates Buddhist Action, especially the themes of caring for others and money awareness.

In terms of caring for others, the work which will bring funds to...
