เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 พ.ค. 2020
We are a community of 8 Dharmacharinis living together at a retreat centre in Wales and running retreats. As the Tiratanaloka Ordination team we offer a training for ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order. This training has two aspects: getting to know and understand the Order, which is based on Sangharakshita’s vision, and deepening one’s practice to the point at which it becomes effective.
Meditating On the Yidam: the Real, Deep, Living Refuge of the Dharma
In the second of a series of weekend retreats focussing on the esoteric refuges, Vajratara explores the esoteric Dharma refuge: the Ishta Devata or Yidam. What is the 'Dharma we actually practise in any real, deep, living sense'? Why did Sangharakshita emphasise the esoteric Dharma refuge, and what does it mean for us?
Talk given on an online weekend for women who have asked for ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order. Some knowledge of Buddhism is assumed, along with some technical terms.

The Mudra of Generosity
มุมมอง 875 หลายเดือนก่อน

The varada mudra is a symbol of the aspect of the Dharma life which cannot be contained, which has to be shared and communicated. A state of being that cannot help but flow outwards. And what is the state of being from which generosity flows? Integration, love, gratitude and a mandala of aesthetic apprec...
The Mudra of Meditation
มุมมอง 735 หลายเดือนก่อน
Why do we meditate? How can we embody the qualities of meditation: serenity, balance, receptivity, awareness, warmth and creativity? Punyamala delves into the mudra of meditation embodied by the Buddha Amitabha: both hands gently resting in the lap with thumbs lightly touching. Still, yet present. The mudra draws us into to the deeper reaches of our consciousness: 'Like that quiet hour before s...
Discovering the Guru
มุมมอง 1745 หลายเดือนก่อน
Why do we look up to people we respect and admire? What are the dangers of looking up to someone? What is a Guru? How do we envisage a Guru in this modern age and how do we find them? How do we develop an 'inner guru'? Vajratara draws on Sangharakshita's talk 'Is a Guru Necessary' to explore the theme of 'Discovering the Guru'. This talk was given at Tiratanalokaas part of a series on 'The Esot...
