The London Buddhist Summer Magazine Out Now

From London Buddhist Centre on Thu, 21 Apr, 2016 - 11:17

Giving is a fairly simple thing to do: money to a good cause, time to a friend, food to the hungry, energy to a situation. But sacrificing what you hold most precious – your very own life – is an altogether different giving up. How, and why, would you give your life?

For an offering to be truly selfless, the ideals behind it need to be of the purest kind. Then you would need to examine how you relate to those ideals,...

Introducing Ambedkar

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Wed, 20 Apr, 2016 - 00:00
‘Who are the great world reformers? Vajratara presents the life and work of Dr Ambedkar, who transformed the lives of his followers in India who were oppressed by the caste system. He thought that the Buddhism had a part to play in social transformation, that transforming mind is transforming society. With this in mind, he embraced Buddhism in 1956, bringing millions of people with him. These conversions formed the basis of the vibrant and inspiring Triratna community in India. Vajratara gives a flavour of this community and the work of the India Dhamma Trust who supports Dhamma work in India, transforming hearts and minds and annihilating caste at its root.’

Suspension of Manjunatha

Suspension of Manjunatha

From Order Connection on Tue, 19 Apr, 2016 - 14:41

Dear Order members,

Manjunatha, after discussion in the College, with the agreement of his preceptor Bhante and after discussion with Manjunatha himself, has been suspended from the Order with a review in a year’s time. His suspension is related to ethical breaches in his relationships with various members of the Sangha in Venezuela.

Manjunatha has welcomed the opportunity to review, and hopefully renew, his participation in the Order.

~ Moksananda and Parami on behalf of the College of Public Preceptors

Triratna on the BBC World Service

From India Dhamma Trust: "At the heart of a peaceful Dhamma Revolution" on Mon, 18 Apr, 2016 - 12:45

Listen to this recent BBC radio documentary featuring our very own Maitriveer Nagarjuna! It is about why the Dalits, after generations of oppression, are converting to Buddhism. An interesting listen in that it highlights the problems of caste, which it calls apartheid, as well as the current difficulties the new Buddhists face as they leave the dominant Hindu culture. However, I think it presents conversion to Buddhism as a reaction against Hinduism and underplays the inspiration of following the Buddhist path...
