Retreat med Maitreyabandhu

By Viryabodhi on Sun, 12 May, 2013 - 20:22Under en fyradagars retreat i maj 2013 Dharmagiri, gav Maitreyabandhu fyra seminarier om ”De fem stadierna i det andliga livet” så som dom förstås och utövas inom Triratna. Han hämtar inspiration till stor del från den undervisning som Sangharakshita och Subhuti givit under senare år. Maitreyabandhu bidrar själv med en otroligt levande framställning och konkretiserar temana på ett sätt som blev mycket uppskattat på retreaten, och säkert kommer att uppskattas av många fler. Här är länkar till seminerierna i den...

The Making of Seven Papers by Subhuti with Sangharakshita

By Candradasa on Fri, 12 Apr, 2013 - 22:27If you haven’t seen it yet you can now get hold of a definitive collection of seven papers by Subhuti with Sangharakshita, outlining and reaffirming the approach to the Dharma that underpins the Triratna Buddhist Community. It’s a rather magisterial undertaking, even by Subhuti’s standards, and worth celebrating as both an important source text for Triratna and as a spur to conversation and debate within the community at large.

Quite apart from all the sustained work that...

Seven Papers by Subhuti with Sangharakshita

By Candradasa on Fri, 12 Apr, 2013 - 21:52

To round off our ‘Triratna anniversaries’ week, here is the appropriately definitive complete set of seven papers by Subhuti and Sangharakshita, documenting their conversations over the past few years about the whole basis of our approach to the Dharma within the Triratna Buddhist Community.

In Subhuti’s words, each attempts to follow through the implications of Sangharakshita’s statement, in the first paper, What is the Western Buddhist Order?, that the Triratna Buddhist Order...
