Rainbow highlights from The Buddhist Centre Online

By Munisha on Mon, 29 Jun, 2015 - 16:20

To mark Pride week(end) around the world, and Friday’s landmark announcement that the US Supreme Court has declared conservative states’ opposition to same-sex marriage unconstitutional, you may have noticed that The Buddhist Centre Online’s logo has spontaneously developed a joyful rainbow background!

America’s historic news came just before the weekend on which many cities traditionally celebrate LGBTQ Pride, around the anniversary of New York’s Stonewall Riots of 28th June 1969; often seen as the birth of the modern gay...

Form and emptiness: Triratna Stockholm holds first LGBTQ retreat

By Munisha on Sat, 13 Jun, 2015 - 19:02

Vajradarshini is the new Chair of Triratna’s Stockholm Buddhist Centre.

She writes: “Last month the Stockholm sangha held its first LGBTQ (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer/questioning; known in Swedish as HBTQ) retreat, hoisting a rainbow flag at Dharmagiri, our retreat centre north of Stockholm. (Domestic flagpoles are standard in Sweden, flying a penant in the national colours of blue and yellow.) Fifteen Order members, mitras and friends gathered from Sweden, Finland and Norway to explore the way gender...

It’s a snowy New Year landscape familiar to Triratna’s Swedish sangha, close by their beautiful retreat centre, Dharmagiri, a converted village school.

I took it on my iPhone during their New Year retreat with Tejananda. (At minus 14 degrees Celsius/6.8 degrees Fahrenheit, keep your iPhone in your inner pocket, or the screen will go black, displaying the mystifying message...

Ordination, sanghahelg och småpyssel

By Viryabodhi on Thu, 16 Oct, 2014 - 09:19Rapport från Dharmagiri (september 2014)

Som alla troligen minns hade vi en osedvanligt vacker och varm september i år. Vädret passade perfekt för Sanghahelgen, då vi som vanligt vid denna tid på året mest arbetade utomhus, bl.a. med att ta ned lite träd och sly, byggde en tillfällig trapp till verkstaden, rensade i rabatter, grävde större grönsaksland m.m. Vi målade också det nya rummet på övervåningen i gröna huset och väggarna i korridoren utanför, i en vacker ljusgrön färg...

juli – augusti på Dharmagiri

By Viryabodhi on Wed, 4 Sep, 2013 - 11:07Hej kära vänner

Härligt att vara tillbaka igen på Dharmagiri! Anlände i början på juli och gled in i den ”tysta egna praktik”-retreaten (12-18) med fem st deltagare. Lite paus några dagar innan sommarretreaten (19-28) började med Karunavira från England och Viryabodhi som retreatledare och med tjugofem deltagare.

Augusti: En buddhistisk grupp hyrde Dharmagiri under fyra dygn under mitten av augusti. Det gick bra! Känns fint att vi kan dela med oss av det fina ställe vi har...

Retreat on the Dhammapada in 2010

By Viryabodhi on Mon, 22 Oct, 2012 - 21:09Reflection retreat
with Ratnaguna
Dharmagiri 15–18 April 2010

Under denna långhelg ledde Ratnaguna oss i reflektion och kontemplation på verser från Dhammapada. Han hade valt kapitel 1, 3 och 18: tvillingverserna, om sinnet och fläckar. Jag hoppas lägga upp en svensk översättning av Bhantes översättning av dem så småningom, men du finner också två översättningar till engelska på www.accesstoinsight.org
Här är en direktlänk: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/dhp/dhp.intro.budd.html

september på Dharmagiri

By Viryabodhi on Fri, 12 Oct, 2012 - 20:37För att fortsätta berätta om Gröngölingarna…

I den förra månadens brev skrev jag om dessa två fåglars sista färd och krasch mot glasverandefönstret. För några veckor sedan såg jag en halvvuxen unge spatsera på gårdsplan! Den såg frisk och välmående ut och man kan anta att det var en unge som överlevt och klarat sig bra på egen hand.

Ett flertal retreater har passerat denna månad. Satyaprabha, Fredrik Busk och Viktor Bäckström ledde en Ung Buddhist retreat. Dikterna...
