Resignation of Dharmacharini Nagajyotis

From Order Messenger on Wed, 1 Mar, 2017 - 09:43

Dear Order Members,

Dharmacharini Nagajyotis, from Stockholm, Sweden, has written informing me that she is resigning from the Order. We had recently discussed the possibility, and I have accepted her resignation.

Nagajyotis was ordained privately on an island in (what I believe is) the Stockholm Archipelago, and publicly in the (old/original) Stockholm Buddhist Centre on 31 January 2009; they were both very special occasions. I am her private and public preceptor. She will continue...

Introducing the Adhisthana Kula

From Adhisthana Kula on Tue, 28 Feb, 2017 - 21:02

The Triratna Buddhist Order now numbers over 2,000 members in around 30 countries, and the associated Community is many times bigger.

‘Inside Out’, on 26th September 2016, included a 12-minute report referring to accounts of sexual misconduct in the early...

From Online Meditators on Tue, 28 Feb, 2017 - 17:05

Join the online meditators sangha for a four-week series of meditations on the Brahma Viharas, or divine abodes. In these meditations we will cultivate various “flavors” of positive emotion including loving-kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), sympathetic joy (mudita), and equanimity (upeksha).

Meditation sessions are held at 2:30pm ET / 7:30pm UK on Google+ Hangout. See the links below for each week’s event. Some experience of basic mindfulness and metta practices is helpful, but not necessary.
