Subhuti - Revering and Relying on the Sangha

By Candradasa on Tue, 26 Feb, 2013 - 03:45
A great talk by Subhuti to get the first full day of the Triratna Order Convention for 2013 off to a deeply engaging start. Looking at the Garava Sutta in its earlier and later versions, and drawing inspiration from the occasion and our setting so close to the Vajrasana (the Buddha’s ‘Seat of Enlightenment’), Subhuti draws out a distinctive difference that opens into a world of significance for our Buddhist Order and the wider Triratna Community.

Creativity that inspired me - Dealing with hatred and realising its futility

Creativity that inspired me - Dealing with hatred and realising its futility

By RCheesley on Thu, 31 May, 2012 - 22:06I created this video for one of the young people’s meetings of the Ipswich & Colchester group - we were asked to bring some creative source which inspires us.

I took two songs which at some point of my life meant something to me, or gave me some ‘insight’ into life, or the way things are, and put them to images. It’s a bit loud at the start, fair warning!

Ethics in the world of everyday existence

By RCheesley on Thu, 31 May, 2012 - 21:52This was a video which I made for my Mitra Study project.
