Dharmabyte: Vertical Imagination as Divine Eye

By Zac on Mon, 7 Feb, 2022 - 06:00

Living ethically requires us to have imagination in how we treat others, and truly put ourselves in others’ shoes. Here, Sangharakshita discusses vertical imagination as seeing the world with the Divine Eye.

Excerpted from the talk entitled Living with Ethics (book launch) given at Birmingham Buddhist Centre, 2009.

Chairs' Letter – November 2021

By ratnadharini on Tue, 30 Nov, 2021 - 21:54

Dear Order members and friends,

This month the annual international College meeting was a complex hybrid affair, taking place partly in person at Adhisthana, and partly online. Akasajoti came up with a schedule that not only took into account the different time zones, but also maximised crossover by shuffling us into different configurations; she even set up interactive zoom screen in the shrine room that meant we could all see and hear each other.

Making Zoom meetings more disabled-accessible

By ECA Safeguarding on Mon, 23 Aug, 2021 - 09:47
