FBA Podcast: Open Handed Generosity

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 10 Jul, 2021 - 06:00

Buddhist generosity is ideally ongoing all the time, a simple application of our ethical principles - a flow of time, energy, money, and so on, in the direction of your heart-felt values. Giving is one of the key practices of a Buddhist, and one of the delights of the Spiritual Community. Ratnaghosha evokes how this is an area of activity that is crucial to an effective practice of the Dharma and the living of the Bodhisattva life.

Further update on health of Vijayamuni

From Order Connection on Thu, 8 Jul, 2021 - 11:15

Dear brothers and sisters,

Vijayamuni returned to hospital for a day last week due to an increase in pain. While there they found two new tumors in his lower spine.

Buddhism and Politics - Talk 1

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Tue, 6 Jul, 2021 - 00:00
Should Buddhist sanghas and Buddhist Centres get involved in politics or remain politically neutral? When political debate can be so fractious and polarised, how can Buddhists make a helpful contribution? In this ambitious and challenging talk, Vajragupta asks us to reflect on our political views and conditioning, so as to come to a deeper appreciation of what a Buddhist perspective might be. First of a series of three talks given for Buddhist Action Month 2021.
