From Buddhafield Family Friendly Village on Wed, 7 Aug, 2013 - 08:15Community Audio Archive now live!

Here it is at last… So pleased the conditions finally arose for this new community webspace and audio archive to happen. It’s been in the pipeline for 8 years now, since I first came across the retreat at Glastonbury, reading a flier in the Buddhafields Cafe.

Who is it for?

In 2012, we made an audio document of the Village. We were looking to create a point of reflection and dialogue...

Building Sangha Together

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Tue, 6 Aug, 2013 - 23:55As many of you know, our center space has been generously donated to us by the McNabb group since October 2011. We have greatly appreciated their support, and now it is time for us to create a new, more permanent Portsmouth Buddhist Center space for us all to enjoy and benefit from for years to come.

Thank you to all of you who have generously offered your financial support to help us secure our new home. After much searching...

We begin the evening with meditation, offering instruction and support for those who would like it. The second half of the evening we will be exploring...

From Buddhafield Family Friendly Village on Tue, 6 Aug, 2013 - 11:40We are a full village now for 2013! Bookings Closed.

Part of creating this online space is to help us germinate other family friendly events within the Triratna movement. Anyone that has any energy at all to help make that happen, can find a way to get...

A Place of Practice

From Adhisthana on Mon, 5 Aug, 2013 - 11:33The Clear Vision video team visited recently to report on progress. To see what they saw and meet some more of the project’s key people, watch the new 12-minute video, ‘A Place of Practice’.

A great many people have spent months working incredibly hard to restore and convert this beautiful 18th century building, its land and newer buildings for Triratna use. As you can imagine, the team there are working overtime in these last few days.
