Only Connect

From Buddhist Action on Sun, 9 Jul, 2017 - 22:59

One of our talks for BAM in Bristol. From communist to Buddhist…. Vimalavajri talks of her personal involvement in the spheres of politics, feminism and Buddhism.  Using Indra’s net as a classic Buddhist image of interconnectedness, the talk explores what the dharma might have to say about social or political action, and asks what helps when we feel overwhelmed or stuck in ill-will.  If we really see Indra’s net, we will connect more deeply with life at all levels and...

BAM at the London Buddhist Centre with Transforming Self and World

From Buddhist Action on Wed, 5 Jul, 2017 - 21:50

June has been a particularly turbulent month in the city of London.  The violent attacks and tragic incidents the city has experienced have given us much to pause and reflect upon.  It can feel as though the forces that govern our country and the wider world base their values on greed, fear, hatred and misinformation; the very poisons we try to work against in Buddhist practice.  More than ever it seems critical for each and every one of us and...

Buddha Ratnasambhava’s Delight

From Triratna International Gathering 2017 - What The World Needs Now on Wed, 5 Jul, 2017 - 19:03

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” (Howard Thurman)  

At our best we’re aware of how much we have been given, and delight in passing it on to others. In those moments we taste the freedom of the awakened mind. So why is it so hard to do?! In this workshop we shall explore profound teachings and practices to become a...

Wisdom’s gathering: The difference that makes a difference

From Triratna International Gathering 2017 - What The World Needs Now on Wed, 5 Jul, 2017 - 11:42
