La vie règne

By Ujumani on Tue, 7 Apr, 2020 - 19:21

Dans cette situation étrange et confinée je me pose des questions : Mais qu’est-ce que je fais là ? Ne serais-je pas mieux ailleurs ? Cela se terminera-t-il un jour ? …

Mais il ne sert à rien de résister ; aussi pour débuter la méditation d’hier midi par internet, j’ai choisi de nous inspirer avec le poème suivant de Sangharakshita ; outre le poème lui-même, je suis convaincu que rester en contact avec la beauté, sous quelque forme que ce soit, est une façon de trouver de...

365 Days of Bhante

By Maitriyogini on Fri, 27 Mar, 2020 - 14:06

A significant aspect of our work here at Adhisthana is to keep alive the spirit of our founder and teacher, Bhante Urgyen Sangharakshita, in the years after his passing on the 20th October 2018. There are many ways that we do this - by passing on his teachings; providing a context for people to visit his last residence and resting place; preserving and making available his library; and by celebrating his anniversaries.

We would like to bring more of the flavour of...

Translating the Dharma into Hebrew

By Sadayasihi on Fri, 13 Mar, 2020 - 11:09

Accessing the Dharma in your own language can make a significant difference to a person’s ability to practice. The Triratna Translations Board was set up at the end of 2015 to promote and coordinate translation projects in many languages and have enabled the translations of many Triratna books.

The latest of these is What is the Dharma by Sangharakshita, which has now been translated into Hebrew.

Prakashika, born in Israel, but now living in Australia,...
