A Single Stream of Dharma Activity

By viriyalila on Mon, 4 Nov, 2013 - 21:32

Today’s FBA Dharmabyte is a lovely description of Sangharakshita we’re calling “A Single Stream of Dharma Activity” given by his editor Kalyanaprabha on the occasion of launching his recent book ‘Dear Dinoo: Letters to a Friend’. She shares two remarkable aspects about Sangharakshita: the ordinary and the extraordinary along with reflections on kindness and his embodiment of a single stream of Dharma activity.

Urgyen Sangharakshita's vision for the world

By Suryaprabha on Thu, 31 Oct, 2013 - 15:15TO SET THE scene, here is a quotation from a film made by Bob Mullan (The Enlightened Englishman, 1989)

Subsequent pages talk about the films I and my team have made about Triratna: its beginnings in the 1960s through to the new century.

I hope you will enjoy looking through this window as much as I have looking through the lens. Lights’ films have been remastered and filed over at LightsintheSky.org. Metta, Suryaprabha

Urgyen Sangharakshita on Death and Grief

By Candradasa on Tue, 10 Sep, 2013 - 17:38Over on the Abhayaratna Trust’s website there’s a little-known but fascinating conversation extract from 2007 between Sangharakshita ( the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Community) and Ratnachuda talking about the death of Sangharakshita’s mother and sister. It’s part of a longer, in-depth discussion of death and grief generally, and we wanted to draw your attention to that as well as to the excellent work Abhayaratna Trust does on behalf of members of the Order...

Pour la puja de cette année, j’ai choisi des lectures de sept textes provenant pour l’essentiel des mémoires de Sangharakshita, et correspondant à chacune des parties de la...
