Further Update on Bhante's Health

From Order Connection on Tue, 30 Oct, 2018 - 10:20

Dear Order members,

Yesterday we informed you that Bhante had been diagnosed with pneumonia. I am very sorry to inform you that this morning the Consultant has said that Bhante has sepsis from which recovery is not possible. Therefore the treatment with antibiotics has been stopped and it is likely that Bhante will die quite soon.

The ‘Big One’ is well known for its Saturday night puja! This time we ventured out into the dark for a bonfire as part of a special ritual led by Kusaladevi. Here are some amazing photos taken by Akasajoti and Sanghadhara capturing the scenes around the fire.

Sunrise with Ibex

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sun, 28 Oct, 2018 - 00:00
In this talk Prajnanandi discusses her path towards ordination, focussing on the intertwined themes of friendship and communication. She evokes the magic of Akashavana and how it feels to be there, and takes a little diversion into how it feels to have Manjusri as a sadhana practice. This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in October 2018 as part of the regular Saturday morning sangha class.
