Bodhicitta Practice and Order Resources

From Order Connection on Fri, 31 Jul, 2020 - 20:46

Sunday Order Bodhicitta Practice
Sunday 2nd August

Our text this week was written by Padmavajra when the first Sunday in the month was our Order Metta meditation practice. Although the practice this Sunday will still be the Bodhicitta this personal piece written with the Metta in mind expands how important the imaginative connection with others is and the effect of knowing we are doing the same practice with the same impetus and aspiration.

We started this monthly gathering to support BIPOC/BAME in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and resulting conversations in Triratna about providing safer, affirming spaces for the diversity of BIPOC/BAME within the movement and beyond. At the...

Goodbye and Thank You

From Akashavana on Tue, 28 Jul, 2020 - 17:02

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”

I came across this quote from Seneca recently and it resonated as I prepare to leave Akashavana after two years. Originally I was only coming for a year, but very quickly knew that wasn’t going to be long enough, as being in this quiet and beautiful land made me feel at home and supported by nature’s brilliance. One of my constant delights has particularly been sharing the land with the ibex, although there is...

Dharmabyte: Communication Problems

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 27 Jul, 2020 - 14:00

The Buddha’s lone voice of sanity once prevented a war. Modern warfare is on a far larger scale, and could involve nuclear weapons. As we are faced with a choice between world peace and eventual disaster, Sangharakshita discusses realistic courses of action for peace activists and others.

Excerpted from the talk entitled Buddhism, World Peace, and Nuclear War given in 1984.
