Dharma Talk: What’s Race, Gender, Sexuality and Skin Color Got to Do with Non-Self

From Community Highlights on Tue, 5 Mar, 2019 - 12:29

A timely and thought-provoking talk by Vimalasara around what race, gender, sexuality and skin colour have got to do with the idea and experience of non-self? Vimalasara draws inspiration from the life and example of Dr Ambedkar as she explores how to approach these issues from a Dharmic perspective.

This talk was given at a People of Colour (POC) day-long retreat at San Francisco’s East Bay Meditation Centre 2019.

Volunteer for us - Introduction from Prajnanandi

From Triratna Women on Thu, 7 Mar, 2019 - 12:30

Triratna Women welcomes volunteers!  Here we have Prajnanandi from Croydon, who helps us with images, recordings and editing. She brought us a real boost of inspiration to get the project to the public realm.

It was appropriate that I talked to her there because she was one of the women who brought Tiratanaloka, and all that it offers, into being.

Those of us who have joined the Movement and Order more recently have very little idea of how different things were...
