FBA Dharmabyte: Radical Interconnectedness

From Free Buddhist Audio on Tue, 10 Sep, 2013 - 23:12

In Monday’s FBA Dharmabyte, “Radical Interconnectedness,” Satyanandi looks at radical interconnectedness and the nature of mind as it meets the world.

In the full talk, “How We See the World,” she takes the listener on a very intriguing trip through the myriad worlds of consideration that arise when view, experience and reality meet. Her starting point is science and its various models for how the universe works – from mechanism to quantum physics.

From Community Highlights on Tue, 10 Sep, 2013 - 18:25The Abhayaratna Trust provides support for elderly members of the Triratna Buddhist Order who don’t have the resources to fully support themselves.

Urgyen Sangharakshita on Death and Grief

From Community Highlights on Tue, 10 Sep, 2013 - 17:38Over on the Abhayaratna Trust’s website there’s a little-known but fascinating conversation extract from 2007 between Sangharakshita ( the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Community) and Ratnachuda talking about the death of Sangharakshita’s mother and sister. It’s part of a longer, in-depth discussion of death and grief generally, and we wanted to draw your attention to that as well as to the excellent work Abhayaratna Trust does on behalf of members of the Order...

Karma's Gonna Getcha!

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Mon, 9 Sep, 2013 - 22:41Dear Meditator

Perhaps the most core of all understandings for Buddhists is that every action has a consequence. Often we don’t make the connection consciously to the consequence but you can be sure there will be one. We believe that every action that is skilful (born out of clarity, kindness and generosity) will have a positive consequence and every unskilful action (born out of confusion, ill will and greed) will have a negative consequence.

From Free Buddhist Audio on Fri, 6 Sep, 2013 - 17:23

Elucidating the other side of the coin, in today’s FBA Dharmabyte,“Enlightenment as Non-Experience,” Sangharakshita explores the alternative to considering Enlightenment as experience.
