Powerful Forces (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 16 Jun, 2025 - 11:00

Shraddhavani invites us to engage with the facts about our contributions to climate change through basic activities such as eating, living in our homes and travel. She then asks us to get in touch with those seemingly simple, everyday feelings that tend to govern our choices in these areas –– the feelings of wanting, resistance and not knowing, which we as Buddhists can relate to the poisons of greed, hatred and delusion. Excerpted from the talk ...

Maitribala - An Announcement From Padmavajra

Maitribala - An Announcement From Padmavajra

From Order Connection on Fri, 13 Jun, 2025 - 17:56

Sometime in 2016 he came to see me at Padmaloka expressing his concerns about the various allegations made about Bhante, which I listened to sympathetically. It was a friendly conversation. Not long after that he appeared in a BBC TV programme and was very publicly critical of Bhante and the Order.  Maitribala has made no contact with me since that meeting in...

New Convenor of the International Council

A few days earlier he symbolically handed over the responsibility to me in a moving short ritual in Bhante’s lounge in Urgyen House. As part of that handover he passed on to me a mala that had belonged to Bhante, and I recited the verses of acceptance, lightly revised from our ordination vow by Mahamati.
