Order Survey - Part 2: Your Practice

From Order Connection on Mon, 20 Sep, 2021 - 16:06

645 order members (outside of India) completed the Order survey in 2019. That was just the beginning. Many of the questions were open, inviting reflection and opinion and this requires a lot of work to distill into useful information. Vajrashura, Karunagita and several volunteers are doing the heavy lifting and have recently completed part 2 (of 3) and produced a really helpful report.

This second section, “Your practice” covers ethics, meditation, study & reflection, altruism, devotional practice...

FBA Podcast: The Best of Truths

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 18 Sep, 2021 - 06:00

The Four Noble Truths contain the whole of the Buddha’s teaching. They set out a clear and direct vision of the true nature of Reality. In this talk, Jnanadhara unfolds the meaning behind these seemingly simple four pithy teachings. With poetry and personal anecdote, he draws us into the immense depth and mystery behind these teachings and shows us a glimpse of what the Buddha was communicating 2,500 years ago. 

Given at the Dublin Buddhist Centre, January 2020.

It’s not something that has to do with ideas and concepts… It’s about more practical wholeness, with your heart. (Chandrasiddhi)
