Would you like to work for the Future of the Dharma?

From Future Dharma on Thu, 2 Feb, 2023 - 17:48

Since our launch in 2016, FutureDharma Fund has grown to support 45 international Triratna projects, including those of the India Dhamma Trust, and raised over £1,200,000. This year we aim to raise £500,000 for this vital work.

Death of Dharmavajri

From Order Connection on Tue, 31 Jan, 2023 - 17:46

Dear Friends 

I am writing to let you know that Dharmavajri died at around 9am on 31st January in the Bristol Royal Infirmary.  

The hospital staff, who have been very, very kind in caring for Dharmavajri, said that she had wanted not to be disturbed last night. This morning she said the same thing and then shortly afterward died in her sleep. Some sangha friends gathered in her room, chanted mantras and refuges and precepts, and sat with her.

New Chair of the North London Buddhist Centre

From Jobs, Volunteering & Communities on Mon, 30 Jan, 2023 - 21:16

We have a strong council, increasingly diverse and engaged Sangha, spacious building, good location, and (soon) solvent financial situation. This year, Ratnaprabha steps down as our Chair (after 4-5 years) and we are looking for an Order member to become our next Chair. Talk to Ratnaprabha, Karunagita or other Council members to find out about joining us.

We pay the London living wage and can be flexible on hours. There may be space in a local community.
