Dharma teaching - PS - 'a page of Sangharakshita'

From Triratna Resources on Mon, 21 Nov, 2016 - 18:22

PS stands for a ‘Page of Sangharakshita’

It’s a great idea from Saraha at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre…  They are a series of excepts from Bhante that are no more than a page long, some a lot shorter than a page, so they can be easily printed out and used to lead study/discussion – for example on a level 2 course, or a sangha night.

Mitra (Study, Ceremony, etc) Resources OM

From Triratna Resources on Mon, 21 Nov, 2016 - 18:06

Re the file: Creative Mitra Study (below)

The course contains suggestions for creative ways of touching our emotions as well as our reason when studying the Dharma. The intention is to bring the study material alive by using other methods of exploring the text in addition to the usual summary/questions/discussion way. It includes brainstorms, games of all sorts, dramatic readings, dressing up, music, exercises, rituals and reporting-in on a theme. All activities have been tried out with a group at least once....
