Getting Ready - New Shrine Backdrop

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Fri, 12 Jun, 2020 - 21:06

In March, right around the Spring Equinox, we were to be opening up our new Center just as the coronavirus took hold of our community. Like everyone else, we moved our programming online. As spring moves into summer we decided to start step more into our space with some of our programs being streamed from the shrine room.

Next weekend, on the Summer Solstice, we are hosting a community gathering (online) to dedicate the shrine room and celebrate our connection with one another. For this...

Bodhicitta Practice and Order Resources

From Order Connection on Fri, 12 Jun, 2020 - 16:01

Sunday Order Bodhicitta Practice
…and some inspiration for the week ahead
 Sunday 14th June

Just as when a lamp
Is put into a room
Even a thousand years of darkness
Immediately vanishes
And it lights up the place.
In the same way
When the lamp of aspiration for the Bodhicitta 
Enters the room of the mind of sentient beings
Dark with ignorance 
Then immediately 
Untold aeons of darkness

FutureDharma Fund Gratitude Report 2019/20

FutureDharma Fund Gratitude Report 2019/20

Thanks to the generosity of its supporters, FutureDharma is now the main way Triratna seeds and supports sanghas around the world. This report is about how those gifts helped thousands of people to transform their lives last year.

Of course this year everything changed. Humanity now needs the Three Jewels more than ever. But with all our centres and retreat centres closed or severely restricted there’s a real danger that we barely sustain our own practice and sanghas, let...

Welcome - Meditating in the Mandala home retreat

From The Community Toolkit for Uncertain Times on Fri, 12 Jun, 2020 - 10:40

What is a mandala? Symbolically, it’s a sacred circle that, if you enter and approach its centre, brings you towards Enlightenment or full Awakening. This week, during our latest home retreat, we will be meditating in the mandala, led by Tejananda, an Order member with over 25 years of teaching practice, as we deepen into our experience and learn to simply be.

Tejananda’s approach is rooted in Triratna’s System of Practice - integration, positive emotion, spiritual death, spiritual...

Dharmabyte: The Faculty of Responsiveness

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 11 Jun, 2020 - 14:00

Subhadramati delivers in this exposition on the aspect of ethics that springs out of empathy. As you reflect on others’ their suffering starts to become your suffering – it’s important to find that responsiveness and encourage it to flourish. From this, compassion bursts forth from the heart like a rose.

From the talk entitled Ethics As a Path to Insight given on August 30 2014 at the European Women’s Convention held at Adhisthana.

International Order Online Convention
“Five Paths to the Deathless”
Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th August — combined days
Monday 17th August — single sex day

In April we cancelled the combined convention at Wymondham, but said we would wait until the end of May to make a decision about the single sex conventions.  Although lockdown restrictions are slowly being lifted in many countries, sadly, we can’t see any realistic way of holding these this year....
