The first knock

From Triratna Young Buddhists on Mon, 30 Jul, 2018 - 15:31

I was already late. And it was hot. Very hot. Indian hot. The adrenaline had taken me so far but now my legs were palpably wobbling as I approached the last bend before my destination. The hasty bowl of muesli rumbled restlesslessly in my stomach, rising and falling as the urge to vomit repeatedly came and subsided… Hold it together man…

I’ve been here before - exams, big talks, lesson observations when I was a trainee teacher - and deep down I know...

The Ulex Project: An Update

From Triratna News on Mon, 30 Jul, 2018 - 14:46

It is now almost a year since the Ulex Project - an education centre which offers capacity building and training for social movements across Europe - was launched by Ecodharma. Located about 40 kilometres from Ecodharma Retreat Centre, at the edge of a Catalonian village in Spain, Ulex is more physically accessible than the wilder, more mountainous Ecodharma. The building, a renovated farmhouse, can accommodate about 15 to 16 people as well as 2 to 4 facilitators.

Uttaraloka Order retreat Spring 2018

I am writing this at the end of the penultimate week of a three month retreat at Uttaraloka so that I can get a report into Shabda before the summer break. The idea of the retreat is that a few order members live together as a community and just get on with their practice with no external distractions. It was inspired by Bhante’s reputed comment to the old Guhyaloka Vihara that their basic practice would simply be...

Strange Happenings in Acacia Avenue

Once I heard about a man who bought a house. He moved in with his wife and amongst the purchase papers he found a note saying ‘Congratulations on having become the owner of a Bodhi home. (It was a foreign company but they seemed nice people.) We hope you enjoy your new home. It is pretty good. We think you will be fairly satisfied with it, and will probably find it moderately comfortable to live in.’ The...

5 Years of the Buddhist Centre Online: #7 Triratna and the Internet

From Buddhist Centre Features on Fri, 27 Jul, 2018 - 10:59

“Media used to be one way. Everyone else in the world just had to listen. Now the internet is allowing what used to be a monologue to become a dialogue. I think that’s healthy”. - Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

“I have one major problem with the internet: it’s full of liars” - John Lydon.

As long as the world wide web has been in mainstream use, debates about the pros and cons of “The Internet” have bubbled - sometimes raged - away....

From Dublin Buddhist Centre on Wed, 25 Jul, 2018 - 18:06

Maitreyabandhu discusses his childhood, forbidden love, his path to writing poetry and what Buddhism can learn from poetry (and what poetry can learn from Buddhism) in this wide-ranging interview with Jnanadhara, the chair of the Dublin Buddhist Centre.

He also reads a selection of his poetry - including from a forthcoming book on the painter Paul Cézanne - as part of this special evening held as part of the programme of events during the 2018 Poetry Day Ireland festival.
