GROUPS NEWS
There are three "friendship, support and learning" zoom groups.. All three meetings are 90 minutes long. Do come and join in.
Amida Shu Interest Group
On Sunday at 11am Rome time (11.00)
This group is open to anybody, but will be most relevant to people who receive these podcasts. There is often a talk about a topic related to one of the recent podcasts, plus time for discussion in break-out groups and for questions and sharing in the whole group. This group meets each week at the same time.
Amida Shu Friendship Group
On Sunday at 8pm Rome time (20.00)
A similarly open group with a more conversational style. Topics include podcast themes, current affairs and Pureland practice. This group meets each week at the same time.
Amida Shu Refuge Group
On alternate Saturdays and Mondays at 2pm Rome time (14.00)
This group is for Amida Shu members and others who have taken refuge and is primarily a sangha building group. This group meets on Saturdays once per fortnight and on Mondays in the intervening week.
If you would like to attend any of these groups (or to receive the podcasts) :: let Dharmavidya know and he will send you the join code if you don't already have it.
There is now an Amida Interest Group meeting on Thursdays at 6pm (Rome) in Italian! Contact Angela Romani or myself for details. And if you prefer Dutch, do contact Vajrapala, or I can put you in touch. Also I'm still trying to find a few more people in the east (Asia/Australia) who might be interested in a fortnightly Buddhist Psychology interest group.
OTHER STUFF
On the ecological problem and how to solve the dilemmas that this creates for society, there are some good ideas in this little film from BBC
https://www.bbc.com/reel/video
As she says, the "Doughnut idea" only really defines the problem; it does not, in itself, provide the answers. Nonetheless, changing goals and changing the way we think about things can yield results eventually and help policy makers.
