Dharmabyte: Sangha is Togetherness

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 6 May, 2021 - 06:00

Munisha talks about insights gained from traveling in her early life, including realizing she didn’t know how to get along well with others. Some years later, she discovered the Triratna Buddhist Community where friendship is a basic organizing principle around which everything is based.

From the talk entitled A Life in the Sangha given on Zoom to the Stockholm Sangha to celebrate Sangha Day, in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic, November 2020.

Upcoming Ordination in Manchester

From Order Connection on Wed, 5 May, 2021 - 10:33

Dear Order Members,

I am happy to announce that Barrie Stanhope has been invited to join the Order. Barrie made contact with Manchester Triratna back in the 1990s and considerable ill health means he can’t participate in the other ordination retreats that are planned.

Ordinations at Adhisthana

Ivermectin: What do you teach?

From Threads on Tue, 4 May, 2021 - 10:31

India thought it was out of the woods. And now it is in this desperate situation. In the West we are suffering not so much from Compassion-fatigue but from ‘Opinion-fatigue.’ Due to social media everybody has an opinion, as this is what we get, opinions coming from all sides to the point where we are becoming numb.

I don’t know if you have been following the debate around the use of Ivermechtin as a treatment for Covid....
