The Community Toolkit for Uncertain Times

A Scientist's Tale (The Dharma Toolkit Daily, Episode 3)

By Centre Team on Tue, 24 Mar, 2020 - 23:26

“The virus is not the monster from the deep. It evolved on this planet the same way we did.”

Hers is an urgent, challenging, ultimately empathetic...

The Unexpected Intimacy of Online (The Dharma Toolkit Daily, Episode 2)

By Centre Team on Tue, 24 Mar, 2020 - 11:41

Today’s episode brings friends together from Ireland, England and the USA to look at the very technology that connect us for use in things like this. Come and get meta with us about Zoom!

With the launch of our daily meditations we discuss how better versions of the Internet and its underlying technologies mean an evolution – and possibly a revolution – in how we conceive of Buddhist practice (and everything else) in community.

What does a mature web context for...

Meditation Tuesdays - Meditations from the Anuruddha Sutta

By Candradasa on Mon, 6 Jul, 2015 - 22:38

On July 7th we’ll be starting a new six week series of meditations based on the Anuruddha Sutta and the Buddha’s description of how the qualities of a Dharma farer relate to the practices they engage in - especially in meditation itself.

Meditation Tuesdays - Meditations In The Blue Sky

By Centre Team on Mon, 11 May, 2015 - 17:26

For the next four weeks (May 12th, 19th, 26th and June 2nd) we’ll have a four-week series of online meditations led by Rijupatha and Candradasa. We’ll be exploring just sitting with our experience in the light of a practice of mindfulness and of loving kindness, allowing the image of the great “blue sky” of reality to be the proper backdrop for our efforts and, indeed, a support for relaxing into a deeper seeing of the way things are…

We’ll be coming together each...

Meditation for March

By Candradasa on Mon, 3 Mar, 2014 - 22:54Hello all! Hope you’re all staying warm or cool, depending on where you are in the hemispheres. This is a note to say that formally organised meditation online for March via The Buddhist Centre Online will be a bit erratic as I’m away for much of it! Of course, it’s a great opportunity for some of you to connect with each other via this space, our Facebook Group or our Google + page, and arrange your...
