43 Years Ago / Was the Buddha a Bhikkhu? OM

From Adhisthana on Thu, 21 Nov, 2024 - 11:00

Ideal for preceptors, newly ordained Order members, or anyone who wants to delve into the significance and value of the tradition of which we are lineage holders.

Adhisthana is offering two seminars to explore this material in which Bhante reflects on the technical flaw in his own bhikkhu ordination which ‘in the long run this contributed more to my spiritual development, and…my understanding of the Dharma, than any amount of correctness and technicality could have done’

Harmonious, Harsh and Slanderous Speech

From Shabda Articles on Thu, 21 Nov, 2024 - 08:18

There have been quite a few discussions around various aspects of the speech precepts of late - not least connected to the changes made last year with the TBCO closing down most channels of Order communication on the site. I therefore spent a bit of time squirrelling around looking into these precepts in a bit more detail based on traditional canonical accounts…..

So kick back and settle down for a bit of Vinaya and Ethics nerdery. ...

Danashura - ‘Hero of Generosity’

Sujana from Norwich, UK writes:

Danashura died peacefully on the evening of Thursday 14th November 2024. He had been well looked after at home, which is what he wanted, by his dear friend Dharmika and by Zia Gifkins, a mitra from Norwich. He was hospitalised early on the Thursday morning and died there. Dharmika and Zia were with him, reciting verses of puja. Dharmika played him some of his favourite Victor Silvester dance band music which he...
