Nothing Special

Nothing Special

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 15 Jul, 2014 - 09:40I have found the writings of American Zen practitioner Charlotte Joko Beck inspiring. One of her books is titled ‘Nothing Special’

So often we are caught up consciously and unconsciously hoping that life will be special, exciting and extraordinary and caught up in this quest and hope we fail to experience and recognise that our lives are imbued with the extraordinary in every moment and interaction.

Meditation (or zazen as she would call it) allows us...

Dharma Day Celebration with Mitra Ceremony

Dharma Day Celebration with Mitra Ceremony

From Oxford Buddhist Centre - Buddhism and Meditation in Oxford on Sat, 12 Jul, 2014 - 10:17Dharma Day Celebrations - Tuesday 15th July

Please join us for an auspicious celebration of the Buddha’s first discourse. Occuring two full moons after his Complete Awakening the Buddha spoke to five disciples from his time as an ascetic. One, Kondanna, woke up himself and at that moment the Buddha realised that others could understand for themselves how things really are.

Dharmabyte: A Society Inspired by Bodhicitta

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 10 Jul, 2014 - 17:56
Our FBA Dharmabyte today is titled “A Society Inspired by Bodhicitta” by Sangharakshita. We hear of Queen Vaydevi and the series of sixteen meditations as illustration to create a spiritual community without the use of the ‘power mode’ in interacting with each other. This contrasts strongly with ordinary ‘groups’, where relationships are often based on authority, sometimes the authority of a personal God.

From the talk “Authority and the...
