Sangharakshita's Diary, February 2014

By lokabandhu on Sun, 2 Mar, 2014 - 05:56Ashvajit writes with his usual monthly round-up of Sangharakshita’s news, health and visitors, saying -

Consciousness, Friends, Bodhicitta & Love

Consciousness, Friends, Bodhicitta & Love

By viriyalila on Sat, 15 Feb, 2014 - 21:06We aim to express themes in our weekly FBA Podcasts and twice-weekly Dharmabytes. This month we’ve moved from the depths of consciousness, to reflections on Bhante as friend, from the Bodhicitta, to the Karyaniya Metta Sutta and the power of love. This theme may not be obvious to most, but for our podcast compiler, Viriyalila, this progression is all about faith, perhaps more personal than most of our themes, but a theme none the less.

Video av Adhisthana, augusti 2013

By Viryabodhi on Wed, 2 Oct, 2013 - 08:18Under augusti besökte jag Triratnas nya retreatcenter, Adhisthana, där Urgyen Sangharakshita nu bor. Tillsammans med Hridayacandra, Satyaraja och många andra vänner, deltog jag först i en retreat där Subhuti bl.a. gav 4 föredrag; efter detta stannade jag och deltog i Ordförandemötet (för europeiska och internationella Triratna-centra).
Jag satte ihop denna film och visade den på Sanghakvällen på Stockholms Buddhistcenter, 30 september 2013.
