Notes and Events:
Inneren Frieden, Stille und Ruhe finden durch Heimkommen zu sich selbst. Ein wöchentlicher Treff, der sich mit angeleiteter Meditation, dem Studium meditativer Texte und leichten Körperübungen, wie z.B. stillem Sitzen beschäftigt. Außerdem vertiefen wir unsere Praxis mit gemeinsamen Tee trinken und Gespräch. Tibetisch - Buddhistisch orientiert!
Der Meditationskreis besteht jetzt im achten Jahr in meiner Obhut und ist ursprünglich von Lama Ato Rinpoche ins Leben gerufen worden. Lama Ato ist ein alter Meister der Kagyu- und Nyingmatradition und supervidiert die Aktivitäten des Kreises. Er gab dem Kreis den Tibetischen Namen Do Nga Shedrub Ling, was soviel heißt wie Sutra-, Tantra- und Dharmastudien an diesem Ort. So beschäftigen wir uns momentan im Studium mit der Herzsutra und der Möglichkeit des buddhistischen Rituals in Deutscher Sprache. Weitere Schwerpunkte ist das Guru Yoga und die Medizin-Buddha (Sangye Menla) Praxis.
Wegen der engen, spirituellen Verbindung zu Sogyal Rinpoche, Meister der Nyingmatradition, besteht die Möglichkeit für Anfänger je nach Neigung nach einiger Zeit ihre Praxis entweder in der Nyingma- oder Kagyutradition zu vertiefen.
Da einige von uns in sozialarbeiterisch-therapeutischen Zusammenhängen arbeiten, haben wir längerfristig außerdem ein Interesse am Aufbau sozialer Projekte in der Region (z.B. therapeutische Praxis, Hospiz, psychiatrische Projekte...), bzw. eines LEBENS-, ARBEITS- und DHARMAPROJEKTES im südlichen TAUNUS!
In der PRAXIS für SYSTEMISCHE PSYCHOTHERAPIE und SUPERVISION (Idstein/Ts und Wiesbaden) besteht das Projekt "Zwei Räume ein Haus", in dem auf sinnvolle Weise der Zusammenhang zwischen psychotherapeutischer Praxis und Buddhistischer Lehre erforscht und genutzt werden soll.

Notes and Events:
Stammbach is a municipality in the district of Hof in Bavaria in Germany.
The forest monastery is a dwelling place for monks, novices and ordinands. Guests who want to participate in the monastic life and are willing to adapt to the routine and discipline are welcome as the monastic community sees fit.
The monastery is not some kind of spiritual hostel or guesthouse, nor a retreat centre, a seminar centre or a temple serving a particular cultural purpose.
The name “Muttodaya” means Liberated Heart in Pali, the language of early Buddhism. It is a poetic expression of our goal that we are trying to reach. The monks follow the standards of the forest tradition as we can still find it in the Theravada countries (Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia). It is not fixed on a specific lineage or a particular master. It should give an opportunity for those who are seriously interested in practising on the basis of the Dhamma-Vinaya.

Notes and Events:
Dear Dhamma - Vinaya friend,
sangham.net "Virtual Dhamma - Vinaya Vihara" is a laity project and a try to erect a virtual Vihara (a monastery which is useable to set out Vinaya procedures) and should be offered to the monastic Sangha later on.
Next to this maybe particular intention this board should be an unforced place to discover Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha and a place to practice, exchange knowledge and experience as well as to study the teachings. After all the main focus is lesser to create something special outwardly but to support each other in regard of the training.
In regard of the general idea on virtuall Vihara, you may find a "general concept" as attached file, which is open to use how ever one wishes to do (the english translation is not very well yet!)
Please in no way hesitate to participate, criticize and contribute!
May all this work here always be free of strong defilement.
Much mudita
Johann
I thought it would be good to mention general attributes to characterise the objectives of this community and the project as objectively as possible. Those collection might be generally useful for everything in relation with all work here:
I try to offer the opposite (what is should not have as objective) as well, as this might be useful to transport the meaning better.
Please feel invited to develop the objectives further as well as to talk about it. Please add if a significant objective is missing. It would be great if we could develop a short introduction for the objectives of "sangham.net" and the virtual Vihara here or support the frame for it.
Objectives (most in relation with the first):
Nibbana - not the world
open - not excluded
independent - not depended
discovering - not covering
exposing - not hiding
accessible - not nonaccessible
supportive - not obstructive
exemplary - not imitative
concomitantly - not authoritarian
circulating - not pocketing
welcoming - not exclusive
uniting - not separative
simple - not luxurious
maybe inspiring in addition:
Recollecting the Sangha
"At any time when a disciple of the noble ones is recollecting the Sangha, his mind is not overcome with passion, not overcome with aversion, not overcome with delusion. His mind heads straight, based on the Sangha. And when the mind is headed straight, the disciple of the noble ones gains a sense of the goal, gains a sense of the Dhamma, gains joy connected with the Dhamma. In one who is joyful, rapture arises. In one who is rapturous, the body grows calm. One whose body is calmed experiences ease. In one at ease, the mind becomes concentrated."
— AN 11.12
"When you recollect the Sangha, monks, any fear, terror, or horripilation you may have will be abandoned."
— SN 11.3

Liebe Dhamma - Vinaya Freunde,
sangham.net "Virtual Dhamma Vinaya Vihara" ist derzeit ein Laienprojekt und der Versuch ein virtuelles Vihara (ein Kloster, das zur Abhaltung von Vinayaverfahren geeignet ist) zu errichten und in späterer Folge der klösterlichen Sangha zur Verfügung zu stellen.
Neben dieser vielleicht spezielleren Absicht, dient das Forum allen an Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha interessierten als eine ungezwungener Platz zu praktizieren, sich austauschen und die Lehren zu studieren. Bei alle dem liegt er Fokus aber weniger darin etwas großartiges äusserliches zu gestalten, sondern in der Unterstützung in der Praxis.
Zur generellen Idee des virtuellen Viharas, finden Sie als Anlage ein "generelles Konzept", welches wie alles hier zur freien Verfügung und Weiterverwednung zur Verfügung steht. (die englische enthaltene Übersetzung ist noch sehr mangelhaft)
Bitte in keiner Art und Weise das Einbringen, Kritisieren und Mitarbeiten scheuen!
Mögen diese Arbeiten hier immer stets frei von starken Veruntrübungen sein.
Viel mudita
Johann
Sich die Sangha in den Gedanken rufen
Zu einer Zeit aber, wenn der Schüler der Noblen der Sangha gedenkt, da ist sein Geist weder von Gier umsponnen, noch von Haß und Verblendung umsponnen; und angesichts der Sangha ist sein Geist zu solcher Zeit recht gerichtet. Recht gerichteten Geistes aber, gewinnt der Schüler der Noblen Begeisterung für das Ziel, Begeisterung für die Lehre, gewinnt er Freude an der Lehre. Im Freudigen aber erhebt sich Verzückung; verzückten Geistes beruhigt sich das Innere; im Inneren beruhigt, empfindet er Glück, und des Glücklichen Geist sammelt sich.

Introducing the European Bodhicitta Society (EBS)
The European Bodhicitta Society has been established under the guidance of Khenpo SoDargye from Serthar Buddhist Institute (Larung Gar) of Serthar district situated in the province of Sichuan. With the purpose of promoting the spirit of Mahayana Buddhism to benefit everyone in Europe, the European Bodhicitta Society was founded on the first of August in 2009. After two years of development, the number of members has increased from three to over 40 people living in different European countries.
The EBS promotes the Mahayana Buddhist teachings by integrating theories with practices. It plays a proactive role in advocating charity, such as environmental and animal conservation, popularising vegetarianism and in encouraging social cohesion and development.
Under the teachings of Buddha and the guidance of Khenpo SoDargye, the EBS, as well as all its members, strive to promote the theories and practices of Buddhism to everyone in Europe and to let everyone find true happiness.
Our study approaches
Based on Khenpo SoDargye\\\\\\\'s requirements, the European Bodhicitta Society has set up three study groups, namely: Preliminary practice of Great Perfection (Dzogchen) Study Group, Study Group B, which mainly study Shantideva\\\\\\\'s Bodhisattva way of life (Bodhicaryavatara) and a new class introduced in 2012. Beside this, each year, the European Bodhicitta Society will commence new study groups, these include the Preliminary practice of Great Perfection, Pure Land class, and Bodhicaryavatara study group. We also aim to initiate a study group focusing on Vajrayana practice such as Dzogchen, and other classes such as Madhyamika (Middleway) and Pramana (Buddhist Logic).
Our main study approach is by mean of online discussions, which takes place every week. In addition, occasionally, our UK Bodhicitta Socieity also holds some seminars physically. All our studies are managed by Serthar Buddhist Institute. Serthar Buddhist Institute provides learning materials, records our study performance and statistics, arranges lesson plans, organises exams and awards, evaluates the teaching achievements after the end of each semester and issues related certificates and prizes. Moreover, the European Bodhicitta Society is supervised by a specially appointed monastic from the Institute.
The reasons for creating the Bodhicitta Society
The European Bodhicitta Society was founded during the financial crisis. In the era of materialism and when our life highly depends on money, an economic downturn has been particularly detrimental to many people. This is also the proof that money cannot bring sustainable happiness and does not solve the spiritual emptiness within us. Money cannot help us in finding the true purpose of life but rather deviates us from doing so. Many people spend a large proportion of their time on things and activities, which become meaningless when facing the pain, anxiety and fear. That is why we believe that the way of Dharma is the only way to real happiness and fulfilment. In light of this need, Khenpo SoDargye has called for the establishment of Bodhicitta society of which the EBS is also part of it.
Joining us
Dear friends, if you understand Chinese, if you have a loving heart, and if you wish to understand more about life and Buddhism, the European Bodhicitta Society is the right place for you. We welcome anyone regardless of race, name, age, nationality, education or religion. We provide free opportunities to study Buddhism, and work together to promote philanthropy, and social harmony. Please join us in exploring the potentials of compassion, and bring enlightenment to all living beings.
