🎧 A guide to ritual in Buddhist practice with Bodhidasa

By Windhorse Publi... on Wed, 28 Aug, 2024 - 11:00

We are happy to announce the latest episode of our podcast, featuring an engaging conversation with Bodhidasa, a practitioner, teacher, and self-declared geek, who joins us from Sydney, Australia.

In this episode, Dhammamegha explores Bodhidasa’s rich and varied interests, from magic and games to popular culture and literature, and how these elements are intricately woven into his Buddhist practice and the essence of his new book. Bodhidasa shares how ritual, archetypes, and myth play a pivotal role in connecting with transpersonal and...

Sangharakshita’s Three Jewels trilogy back in print

By Windhorse Publi... on Wed, 27 Jan, 2021 - 12:08

Sangharakshita’s Three Jewels trilogy (Who is the Buddha?, What is the Dharma? and What is the Sangha?) is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Buddhism. It provides an elucidation of the three central principles on which Buddhism is based: the Buddha, who represents the principle of ‘awakening’; the Dharma, the teachings and practices that cultivate awakening; and the Sangha, the principle of spiritual friendship. For quite some time, both Who is the Buddha? and What is the Sangha? have been out of print. We’re pleased...
