Sangha As a Radical Alternative to Capitalism and Modern Youth Culture

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Tue, 17 Jun, 2014 - 01:00
Young Peoples facilitator Kara Moses talks about why industrialised Capitalist society presents us with particularly challenging conditions for Buddhist practise, and how the Sangha provides a radical positive alternative - with a focus on the younger Sangha and modern youth culture. Kara explains the capitalist socio-economic system in simple terms and presents this as a direct contradiction to a Buddhist vision of society. This talk was given at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Triratna Day 2013, which was hosted by the Yobs (Birmingham Young Buddhists) group, with a theme of Gratitude.

Contentment

Contentment

From Solihull on Wed, 11 Jun, 2014 - 12:37

On Monday we looked at what the Buddha has to say about contentment - particularly in relation to sense pleasure/sexual desire. There’s nothing wrong with pleasure, and we’re invited to be honest about how we go about getting it, and whether it’s completely satisfying. Tricky questions… One of the defining features of the dharma is asking tricky questions - there are no rules, simply principles and observations which we are invited to consider and see how they apply to us....

Talking about Ethics - it's not about being 'good'.

From Solihull on Mon, 9 Jun, 2014 - 15:21

The word ethics can get a funny response; a sense of being told what to do and all that…

Buddhist based ethics is much simpler; it makes observations about how the world works and invites us to examine our own lives and see if they ring true.

Come along and see whether this simple approach to living a life that brings happiness to ourselves and others works for you.

We’ll be...
