Dharmabyte: The Jewel in Our Hearts

By Zac on Mon, 17 Oct, 2022 - 06:00

Speaking from his heart, Satyadaya encourages us to make good use of those moments of inspiration and bliss which can often arise at the festival. It is so easy for us to get home afterwards and forget, falling back into old habits, losing sight of the potential for growth and community that we experienced. And, though he admits he’s no gardener, Satyadaya goes on to suggest a thing or two about how we might continue to plant the...

By Zac on Sat, 15 Oct, 2022 - 06:00

Buddhafield Festival video talk: 10 Ways to Misunderstand Buddhism. No. 6

By lokabandhu on Mon, 25 Nov, 2013 - 09:20The latest in our occasional series of video talks from the 2013 Buddhafield Festival features an engaging talk by Lokabandhu with the curious title ‘10 Ways to Misunderstand Buddhism, No. 6: “It’s all about Detachment”’. What the first five ways (or the last four) might be have not yet been revealed, but no.6 makes the serious point that Buddhism is NOT about detachment from the world; rather, that it should be a path of spiritual training preparing the student...

By Candradasa on Tue, 9 Jul, 2013 - 15:11
