By mokshini on Wed, 5 Jul, 2017 - 11:42

What difference can the sangha make? In this talk, Dhammamegha will explore what the sangha has to offer in its forms of life and relationships, its precious reservoirs of wisdom, and the vital place of positive emotion.

And what are the enemies of sangha life? On one end there is individualism and wanting to be immune from others, or not knowing how to connect. On the other are relationships based on utopian, wishful and group thinking. Come and explore the adventure of...

Everything of worth is defenceless

“Everything of worth is defenceless: the Dhamma - the most precious Jewel - doesn’t need protection”.

An intriguing title for the second main talk of the International Gathering, given by Arthakusalin who is the chair of the Ghent Buddhist Centre in Belgium! We are sure to find out more on the subject when we gather to listen to his talk - I am looking forward to it.

The world needs us to think big. The Bodhisattva Ideal is the biggest myth possible - Awakening for the sake of all sentient beings - and for that reason it’s perhaps easy to lose sight of it. But humanity is increasingly reaching out for a myth of this kind, and modern Buddhism is better able to articulate its significance than ever, so what needs to happen next?

Prajnaketu will share more of his thoughts on the above topic at the International Gathering...

Jayaraja, chair of Buddhafield, is offering an experiential workshop on this year’s International Gathering.

He will be drawing from the work of Marshall Rosenberg, (NVC), Dan Siegel (Interpersonal Neurobiology), and the Buddha’s teaching on skilful speech.

A beautiful aspect of the International Gathering of 2014 was the collective and collaborative creation of a beautiful backdrop to the shrine.

We are lucky to Sarah Jones, the artist, come back to the Gathering this year to help create something just as beautiful, with the plan to involve as many people as possible help make it! Except that she will not be called ‘Sarah Jones’ anymore as at this very moment she is at Akashavana, the women’s ordination retreat centre, and will be...
