Over the past six weeks Dhammarati has been leading a series on the Anapanasati Sutta - the Buddha’s instructions on this practice. This Q&A session was offered to the 200 people on the course; watch for a sneak-peak at what next week’s Order retreat on the Satipatthana will be like. There...

Dharmabytes: Closer to Truth Through Silence

By Zac on Thu, 25 May, 2023 - 06:00

On a Silent Retreat at Taraloka, Samantabhadri honours silence as significant spiritual practice where we dwell more deeply with ourselves, with others, with nature and the objective world, and within a developing atmosphere. All this opens a vision of experiencing ‘Reality as it is’ (Sangharakshita). From the talk Silence: Practice and Vision given at Taraloka Retreat Centre, 2022.

Online Meditation Retreat - Poetics of Awakening

By Ratnadeva on Mon, 8 Aug, 2022 - 21:46

The Buddha was known as the awakened one, but what does it mean to really wake up? Buddhism is clear that this awakening is more than just intellectual knowledge. More importantly it is an opening of the heart and imagination to our own deepest nature and our place in the world. During this online retreat we will be looking at how we might deepen into ourselves and open to the world through our practice of meditation and ritual.
