3rd international council meeting
Adhisthana 2014Here we have mostly video summaries of each day’s good work, kindly created by Candradasa from The Buddhist Centre Online.
One of the most important aspect was agreeing the principles behind commonality.
A quick recap of day 1, in the expert hands of the facilitation team, Maitrisara and Viveka. We hear how you get 36 international representatives to really take each other in on arriving at an event like this, and how we considered the successes, struggles and lessons learned from the last Council in India 18 months ago…
A strong puja from the 2014 Triratna International Council, featuring an extract from the Avatamsaka (Flower Garland) Sutra, the Maitreya Mantra beautifully harmonized, the Ratana Sutta, and the Refuges and Precepts and Shakyamuni Mantra chanted Indian style…
It’s day 2 of the International Council and we interrupt Lokeshvara’s table tennis match to get him to sit down with Singhamati to discuss the proceedings around today’s theme: “Leadership that inspires and guides”…
Today’s video stars are Dayalocana from the USA and Yashosagar from India. We recap a day of two halves: open space discussion followed by an afternoon of evening of practice and silence, extending through till morning… Much needed, much appreciated, a chance to absorb and go deeper…
Our mini-Odyssey continues in the pleasant company of Abhayaraja and Bodhivamsa, from India and England respectively. We sail through another full day in memory, taking in the general area of ethical practice and specific training in conflict resolution using restorative approaches. A fascinating, detailed landscape that owes, we hear, at least as much to the indigenous peoples of New Zealand as to contemporary mediation theory! Join us for a voyage around day 5…
