25.01.2022 Within our beings, all of us, there are these uncontrived, natural roots of virtue, these instinctive seeds of innate goodness. We still look for something outs...ide ourselves, not knowing how priceless and how important what we already have is. We need to look at these seeds of virtue in our mind as if they were as rare as a Buddha. 17th Karmapa source: http://kagyuoffice.org/a-wishfulfilling-jewel-within-our-o/

25.01.2022 Right intention ~ Kyabje Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche No matter which dharma practice you engage in, from ngöndro to offering a single candle, always do i...t with the intention that your practice will benefit all sentient beings. In this context, benefit does not only mean giving practical help, such as offering food or medicine, or feeding people’s emotions, egos and delusions. Here, benefit includes aspiring to be instrumental in the enlightenment of all sentient beings; without such an aspiration, it is easy for dharma practice to become self-serving. from the book "Not for Happiness: A Guide to the So-Called Preliminary Practices"

22.01.2022 This is a long and thoughtful piece on Buddhists coming to terms with extinction by prominent radical Buddhist writer Stephen Batchelor.

22.01.2022 Attachment says, ‘I love you, I want you to make me happy.’ Love says, ‘I love you, I want you to be happy. If that includes me, that’s wonderful. If you’re happy, that’s all that matters.’ It’s a very different emotion actually, and we shouldn’t confuse it.

22.01.2022 You are in our hearts and prayers. <3

22.01.2022 "What if our religion was each other. If our practice was our life. If prayer, our words. What if the temple was the Earth. If forests were our church. If holy ...water--the rivers, lakes, and ocean. What if meditation was our relationships. If the teacher was life. If wisdom was self-knowledge. If love was the center of our being." ~ Ganga White photographer unknown. See more

22.01.2022 Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama When you get up in the morning, set aside half an hour or so. Usually we are preoccupied with sensory perceptions, but... for half an hour or an hour, withdraw the mind from distraction by external objects. Place your attention on the mind itself. Develop an experience of its clarity and awareness. Focus on that with a calmly abiding mind. Then, apply that to analysis. This is how to examine your mind. See more

20.01.2022 Treasure Revealers (gter ston) are men and women who have produced scripture or objects known as treasure (gter ma) through visionary experience, memory, or phy...sical extraction. Generally these treasures are said to have been concealed by an earlier historical figure, with the intention that they would be recovered for use by future generations. Although most common in the Nyingma and Bon traditions, there have been treasure revealers in all traditions of Tibetan religion.

16.01.2022 The most straightforward advice on how to discover your true nature is this, says Pema Chödrön: practice not causing harm to anyoneneither yourself nor othersand every day, do what you can to help.

16.01.2022 There's a survey which some of you may wish to complete, so we are sharing the link. The University is conducting a study of religious people’s experience of religious freedom and discrimination, and of their attitudes toward lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, and other genders and sexualities such as queer (LGBT+). The survey is for anyone who considers themselves religious, is over 18 years old, and lives in Australia. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.

07.01.2022 "We have to forgive ourselves. We have all made mistakes and acted stupidly. So what? We're human beings. If we were perfect then we wouldn't need a path, since we would already have arrived! It is because we have problems, because we have faults, because we've made stupid mistakes that we need a path. So therefore as we accept ourselves, so we can reach out and forgive others. We can start by befriending ourselves, being a little more tolerant of ourselves and that will help us be friendlier and more tolerant of others." ~Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

04.01.2022 If we have the patience to wait until the mud (our mind) settles and the water is clear, if we remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself, the right words will arise, without our thinking about them. (Charlotte Joko Beck)

01.01.2022 Our Tuesday evening 6.30 pm sessions are now running at Kickstart Arts, New Town. All welcome.
