Mind the Gap - Creating the Creative Space

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Wed, 12 Nov, 2014 - 00:00
Given at an introductory meditation weekend retreat in Worcestershire, Ratnadhya addresses the subject of Bardos and what they can teach us about our need to cultivate creative gaps in our lives in which we can just be rather than do. He talks about bardos of scale, from the traditional bardos of life and death, to the bardos that arise quite naturally within a single life, a single year, a single day, even the gaps which can be observable in our moment to moment experience, at least within meditation - all of them offering opportunities for glimpsing the true nature of our experience, and the possibility of moving from the reactive to the creative mind.

New Rupa

From West London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 7 Nov, 2014 - 11:25
We bought this rupa at an online auction yesterday.
It’s for the smaller of the two shrine rooms in our new Buddhist centre.
We’re hoping to move mid December. By next week all the walls will be up in the new space. It is an exciting time for all of us who work at the centre and visit it.
