Karuna, Stockholm and a very "Big Give"

From Triratna News on Wed, 11 Dec, 2013 - 17:45Karuna Trust announces the result of their participation in the UK’s The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2013, in which teams of philanthropists have donated £10 million in matched funding for a variety of good causes.

Karuna intially set themselves a fundraising target of £28,000, then increased this to £33,000, which they easily exceeded. First they raised £28,200 from their own donors (including a whopping £4000 donation from just one of Triratna’s smaller sanghas: sadhu Stockholm!) Then...

Two ‘Carbon Sadhanas’

From Glastonbury Buddhist Group on Mon, 9 Dec, 2013 - 20:25

These are two ‘Carbon Sadhanas’ (meditation visualisations) I wrote a couple of years ago, around the time of the first Order Convention at Bodh Gaya in India, in fact. I hope they might help Buddhists connect a bit more imaginatively with the consequences of their actions if they choose to drive or fly. As Bhante says, “The central problem of the spiritual life - for most people at least – is to find emotional equivalents for their intellectual understanding”. So...

POEM BY SANGHARAKSHITA

From Lights In The Sky on Tue, 3 Dec, 2013 - 21:37

POEM BY SANGHARAKSHITA

From Lights In The Sky on Tue, 3 Dec, 2013 - 21:37THOUGH THIS poem has been taken out of context, the ending of Time of Fire, I find it apt to reflect on the inferred death of Sangharakshita (long may it be postponed). As the film, part three of my history of Triratna, has several themes of conflict, I wanted to end on some sober reflection, and the author was kind enough to read his poem (or part of).

Une pause pour Vassika

Une pause pour Vassika

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Tue, 3 Dec, 2013 - 14:45J’habite à Paris depuis 10 ans. Je suis venue pour aider et travailler avec Varadakini, qui était à l’époque une de mes deux kalyanamitras (amies spirituelles) officielles, et qui avait fondé le centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris. Au moment de mon arrivée, Suvannavira était aussi à Paris, et nous avons travaillé ensemble tous les trois. Varadakini commença peu après à se retirer de plus en plus du Centre bouddhiste et ses activités, jusqu’à ce qu’elle quitte Paris et puis la...
