What the Diamond Sutra, the world’s oldest printed book, has to say on views….

I read this week that restoration work takes place at the British Library in London on  the world’s oldest printed book –  a much love Buddhist text called the Diamond Sutra dating back to 868 AD. (Sutra is the Sanskrit for discourse).

Many Westerners believe the Gutenberg’s Bible from around 1450 AD as the world’s oldest printed book. A copy of the Diamond Sutra printed 600 years earlier remained hidden in Buddhist monk’s cave in Dun Huang , Gansu Province, China for many centuries. …

 LIVE WEBINAR  1.

August 18, 2012. 13:00 PM to 15:00 PM (New York time)

THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MINDFULNESS –

RISK, CHANGE & WISDOM: A BUDDHIST VIEW.

There are many forms of risk-taking that garner attention in our culture. In fact, the courage to take risks is a valuable quality, and in Dharma life we learn to take risks to grow as human beings. How do we do this productively in a way that enables us to make substantive changes in our lives and reach our potential?

 

LIVE WEBINAR 2.

August 25, 2012. 13:00 PM to 15:00

THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MINDFULNESS –

DESIRE AND LOVE

Who do we love? What do we love? Love and desire are two distinctly different movements—it requires mindfulness and vigilance to know the difference. Using mindfulness practice we can enable the movement of love to take place without the problematic features of desire.

LIVE WEBINAR 3.

Sunday, September 9 2012, 13.00 to 15.00 New York time

THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MINDFULNESS –

THE WORLDLY AND THE SPIRITUAL

There is an important discourse to develop between the spiritual and political owing to the spiritual vacuum in political and corporate leadership. What gives rise to consumerism, competition and war? We will explore how skilful ways might bring the Four Noble Truths into the heart of public life.
