Launch of The Buddhist Vision and the Dhammapada (FBA Podcast)

By Centre Team on Tue, 9 Apr, 2024 - 10:45

Here is a recently re-discovered little lost delight - Sangharakshita and Subhuti launching each other’s books and clearly enjoying themselves. Sangharakshita’s in fine humour - and it’s great to hear him read and quote from the bible! Is that a twinkle in his voice?

Talk given at Triratna [FWBO] Day celebrations in 2001.

Chair's Letter – March 2024

By ratnadharini on Sun, 31 Mar, 2024 - 20:00

Correction:

In my March letter from the College, I wrote that ‘My Relation to the Order was the second in what Bhante intended to be a series of three reflections, the first being The History of My Going for Refuge… the third … being completed by Subhuti as Extending the Hand of Fellowship.’ Kalyanaprabha has pointed out to me that this is inaccurate, as all three texts were originally written by Bhante as papers and were delivered to the gathered Order...

Dharmabytes: The Buddha’s Instant Response

By Centre Team on Thu, 21 Mar, 2024 - 10:00

The Buddha and Ananda once tended a sick monk, neglected by his companions because of his ‘uselessness’. Sangharakshita shows that people cannot be treated as ‘things’ in the spiritual community.

From the talk A Case of Dysentry given in 1982 as part of the series Incidents from the Pali Canon.

Dharmabytes: What is Perfect Vision?

By Centre Team on Mon, 15 Jan, 2024 - 11:00

The Eightfold Path is divided into Paths of Vision and of Transformation. Sangharakshita illustrates how perfect vision can arise, and concludes by showing how Buddhists have communicated their vision of reality in conceptual and imaginative terms.

Excerpted from the talk entitled The Nature of Existence: Right Understanding, as part of the series The Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path given in 1968.

A Second Renaissance? Part 2

How are you reading this?

Forgive me for being so forward. Of course, you haven’t really got going yet. It’s probably too open a question anyway: the how of reading could mean lots of different things. First, there’s the medium – are you on your phone, a tablet, a laptop or desktop (though of course you might have printed this out, or be asking a text-to-voice AI to read it to you)? Then there’s the speed – are you scanning, skimming,...

For several years now, during each international Preceptors’ College meeting, time is dedicated to hearing from the kula of Public Preceptors in India. This was a special year, with all ten of them able to travel over, making up more than 20% of those gathered for the meeting.

One morning was spent hearing about the work of the ordination teams and public preceptors in India, including the establishment of a new retreat centre dedicated to ordination training, Sudarshan Bhumi, named ...

Four Myths + Five Farewells

By akasajoti on Tue, 14 Nov, 2023 - 10:18

Over the weekend, the College were joined by a number of retired Public Preceptors: Suvajra, Padmasuri, Sanghadevi, Saddhaloka; with Manjuvajra, Subhuti and Srimala visiting for some elements of the programme and to spend time together as ‘College Elders’.

Jnanavaca led three sessions of stimulating, interactive study on the ‘four myths of the spiritual life’. He explored this model that Subhuti conceived and introduced in a talk on an international Order convention in 2003 (and was more recently explored by Jnanavaca and Maitreyabandhu...
