Reflections on the importance of stillness

From The Urban Retreat 2011 on Fri, 7 Oct, 2011 - 17:30

First of a series of short (3 minute) videos from me, here in Cambridge UK at the offices of Windhorse:Evolution where I work - Triratna’s largest and most successful team-based Right Livelihood Buddhist business. Here I reflect on how the importance of stillness fits with the momentum of movement in the worldly winds.

Welcome to the retreat - and an idea of what’s coming...

From The Urban Retreat 2011 on Fri, 7 Oct, 2011 - 15:34

Welcome to the 2011 International Urban Retreat, wherever you might be in the world.  Here’s an idea of what’s coming during the week and when you can expect to find it on-line.  Each day we’ll be exploring different aspects of the overall theme - ‘Sailing the Worldly Winds’ - and posting fresh material. 

We’ll aim to make everything for the following day available at around 17.30 UK time, hopefully this will work for you even if your time zone is ahead...

Subhadramati and Maitreyabandhu introducing the Urban Retreat

From The Urban Retreat 2011 on Fri, 7 Oct, 2011 - 14:29

This is a terrific introduction to the retreat and also hilarious as they both lose it completely following their ‘serious’ intro. Laugh along in the sunshine… :)
