The community occupies the top two floors of the Nottingham Buddhist Centre building, which lies in the heart of a vibrant Nottingham city center. There has been a mens community in the building for 25+ years now and currently there are 4 young men living together (pictured: Dayajava, Connor, Rio and Zac).

Parami describes Avalokiteshvara; her relationship to the figure, his origins and mythology. In this talk she helps listeners connect with his compassion and find meaning in his example of skilful action to end suffering of all beings.

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.
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.
We are the Neurodiversity Hub/Neurodiverse Triratna. Although being in receipt of a formal diagnosis is not necessary, we are inclusive of those who are autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic and with sensory processing differences. We exist for the purpose of building sangha, particularly for those with differing abilities and communication styles.
The neurodiverse sangha, including this space, the Facebook group and the whatsapp group are intended to be safe spaces. Please respect people’s boundaries, be mindful of right and kind speech and be aware...
