Buddhafield 2010: A Force for Good in the World.New! Buddhafield Festival 2010 Dates Talks from the Buddhafield Festival 2008 Video of the Buddhafield Festival 2006
This year we celebrate the origin of our name, Buddhafield. A "buddhafield", in the Mahayana tradition, is a place where people can grow, where we choose to create another kind of world, where we have everything we need, and from where we extend a hand to all beings. How is a buddhafield built? A buddhafield only arises if people want it to. It is created when a group of people commit themselves to working towards Enlightenment. They do this for their own benefit, and the benefit of all beings in their sphere of influence - this is known as the Bodhisattva Ideal, a force for good in the world.
