Some Thoughts on Motherhood: the Path of Loving and Letting Go by Punyamala

Some Thoughts on Motherhood: the Path of Loving and Letting Go by Punyamala

From Adhisthana Kula on Tue, 23 Jan, 2018 - 10:00

The conditions in which we live will unquestionably have an effect on our Dharma life. Being a Buddhist in a secular, material society is hard. Being a mother is demanding so anyone who...

Dharma Life - Family Life

From Community Highlights on Fri, 19 Jan, 2018 - 17:31

One of the tasks the Adhisthana Kula set itself was to encourage people within Triratna to take a fresh look at some of those areas of practice and lifestyle that have been of real value and importance, and which sometimes have been put forward in an unhelpful way.

We look to build an Order and movement in which anyone who sincerely wishes to commit themselves to the Three Jewels can find a place and have something to give, whatever their...
