A Dharma Glimpse by Dayamay When I was walking on the hill the other day I got bitten by a dog. I was wearing my favourite shorts and, thankfully, they bore most of the brunt. But I was left with a gaping, mouth shaped hole in the fabric, which at first looked unrepairable. The owner […]
A Dharma Glimpse by Angela I was dusting the Rupas in the shrine room this morning as part of my cleaning duties, cleaning the shrine room always feels like an honour and it is easier for me to do it mindfully and regard it as part of my practise than cleaning other things, although of
Dharma Glimpse by Beth Hickey On my way to the swimming pool while on holiday, I came across a spectacular beastie. It was enormous, with massive muscular legs, spindly antenna and keen beady eyes. So thank goodness for me that it was on its back, too humongous to flip itself back upright. I noticed several
Dharma glimpse by Alex Merry I’ve recently been having some medical tests, which have revealed that I may have a (hopefully treatable) cancer.

Dharma Glimpse by Dylan Tweney This past Monday was Independence Day in America, or what one of my Buddhist friends likes to call Interdependence Day.

Dharma Glimpse by Sonia I’ve recently gone back to writing ‘morning pages’ – a practice that’s been around for a while but was popularised in Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. The idea is to write anything at all, whatever’s on your mind, whatever comes to mind. I often think this is fruitless and am either
Dharma Glimpse by Beth Hickey In the distance is a silhouette of the Cretan mountains behind the twinkling lights of the little town below as the sun fades for the day. In my minds eye I also see the Malvern Hills silhouetted behind the twinkly lights of the little houses that hug the hills I
A Dharma Glimpse by Fi Curnow The other weekend, I got myself some new garden furniture. Well, when I say new, I mean new to me. It was very second hand and cheap off Facebook Marketplace. Getting it home, though, and setting up the four chairs and one table in my tiny back yard filled
Dharma Glimpse by Kaspa This morning I have to send a new Chromebook back. We bought it to run Zoom practice sessions on and the network card isn’t good enough. I’ve been anticipating this with lots of resentment. It took a long time to set up the Chromebook when it arrived (in retrospect, because the
