Retreat at Keffolds, 1972

From Community Highlights on Fri, 12 Jul, 2013 - 19:28Going around over on Facebook is this great video from the early ’70s featuring many of the early pioneers of the Triratna Buddhist Community. The film was made by Steven Burckhardt and Victress Hitchcock.

Here’s what Kamalashila, Buddhafield’s President, had to say about it:

“This is how it was - and in many ways, is still. 1972, the year I discovered Triratna. Beautifully made with fascinating clips of such luminaries as Subhuti, Dhammadinna, Graham...

Amaragita On The Buddhafield Family Friendly Retreat

From Community Highlights on Thu, 11 Jul, 2013 - 14:42

A really great conversation with Amaragita, one of the pioneers of Buddhafield retreats that are family friendly, a radical re-imagining of community retreat that has been one of Buddhafield’s most successful projects for 14 years.

How do you maintain a deep practice of the Dharma when you have a family? How can householders bring the Buddha’s teachings to bear on their lives and also feed their own experience into the wider sangha?

A fascinating look at aspects of...

A Send-off for Satyajit and Mumukshu

From Community Highlights on Thu, 11 Jul, 2013 - 13:54This just in from the Buddhafield Team as the Festival gets underway…

Dear friends of Buddhafield

We hope you are all gearing up to come to Buddhafield Festival - it looks like its going to be a hotty so bring your sun lotion!*

Two of Buddhafield’s longest-serving and most dedicated champions are leaving this year - Mumukshu, after a staggering 17 years, and Satyajit, after 15 years. Without them, Buddhafield could never have developed to...

Meditation this week

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Wed, 10 Jul, 2013 - 02:44Dear Coogee Meditation Group

I was thinking about the Metta Bhavana practice this week and reflected that this particular practice is really as simple as meeting oneself wherever one finds oneself with a really kind and friendly attitude and then taking this out toward others. It’s a matter of tuning into where we are currently at and then choosing a response that is open, expansive and loving…….

This week we will be doing the Mindfulness of Breathing practice...

Maitrisara On The Buddhafield Dharma Parlour

From Community Highlights on Tue, 9 Jul, 2013 - 15:11

A fun conversation with Maitrisara, program organizer for the much-loved Dharma Parlour space at the annual Buddhafield Festival, which is in some ways most expressive of the heart of the Buddhafield community itself.

At the Dharma Parlour you can hear talks and take part in (at least 37!) dedicated Dharma workshops aimed at blending the ancient wisdom of the Buddha with peculiarly modern, environmental concerns about how we live. As well as debates, and introductions...

Motion Graphics Business

From New Ventures on Sun, 7 Jul, 2013 - 21:16Hi There
Thought I’d share with you my latest video.

I am also looking to make some films for organisations in the movement- whether its centres or businesses etc. to develop my portfolio. I would do this at a reduced price so it could be a mutually beneficial enterprise- so get in touch if...

Buddhafield Total Immersion Meditation Retreat: Beloved on the Earth

From Community Highlights on Sun, 7 Jul, 2013 - 19:46

Late Fragment by Raymond Carver
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Led by Paramananda, Padmadasi and Maitridevi
Easterbrook, near Yeoford, Devon, Friday 6 September-Friday 4 October

Our relationship with the modern world is highly complex but, at heart, our feeling of ease in the world is dependent on being present, open and fully ourselves, with simplicity...
