Sadhanas and Mula Yogas From The 2016 Conventions

From Order Dharma on Wed, 2 Nov, 2016 - 21:34

We’ve had some requests for Sadhana and Mula Yoga recordings from the 2016 summer Order conventions. 

We posted some at the time (see below). The rest of the recordings are all waiting to be remastered - which is important for longterm use online as they are quite noisy and not so conducive for listening to as one meditates along… It’s a bit different to actually being there!

That said, there are a lot of them...

Sunday - Buddha's Advice on Living Well

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Fri, 18 Nov, 2016 - 15:44


In the Buddha’s day, those of his followers who were not forest-dwelling monks or nuns but stayed in their homes with their families were called “householders.” This week Dh. Khemavassika will share a short version of a Buddhist sutta which contains the Buddha’s advice to householders about how to be prosperous and healthy. We will explore how this advice might be applicable to living in Portsmouth in 2016.  

This is our weekly community gathering and all are welcome.  Join us for meditation,...
