The Buddha Broke my Heart... Buddhafield Festival videos now up

By lokabandhu on Mon, 18 Nov, 2013 - 14:43Here’s the first in a series of video talks from the 2013 Buddhafield Festival - a great talk by Dhivan entitled ‘The Buddha Broke my Heart…’. He introduces it thus: “The Buddha taught love as freedom of heart. But what if we get burned in love’s fire? This is a talk on love, betrayal and broken-heartedness”.

It was given in the Festival’s Dharma Parlour area, as part of the overall theme of the Festival...

This year’s Buddhafield Festival was, once again, Triratna’s largest and most popular event of the year. It was their 18th successive Festival and all the more special as next year, for the first time ever, they will be taking a break from the festival. Their 2014 programme is currently being developed but will include a full programme of retreats and a return of the popular ‘Green Earth Awakening’ event held for the first time this year.

Meanwhile we’re...

Buddhafield Festival 2013: Sound+Vision

By Satyadarshin on Fri, 27 Sep, 2013 - 16:13The theme for the 2013 Buddhafield Festival, Fire in the Heart, focused on the Buddhist practice of loving-kindness. This can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. Loving kindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change the way we experience ourselves and the world, helping us cultivate true happiness and genuine compassion for others. Loving-kindness is not weak or passive, but is the strength that comes from seeing the true nature of suffering...

The theme was ‘Fire in the Heart’, which took as its inspiration a quotation from the Buddha,...

Amaragita On The Buddhafield Family Friendly Retreat

By Candradasa on Thu, 11 Jul, 2013 - 14:42

A really great conversation with Amaragita, one of the pioneers of Buddhafield retreats that are family friendly, a radical re-imagining of community retreat that has been one of Buddhafield’s most successful projects for 14 years.

How do you maintain a deep practice of the Dharma when you have a family? How can householders bring the Buddha’s teachings to bear on their lives and also feed their own experience into the wider sangha?

A fascinating look at aspects of...
