A New Version of the Positive Speech Precepts

From Order Connection on Tue, 26 Jul, 2016 - 13:48

After these changes had been agreed, it came to my attention that Bhante had also been thinking about the issue of us having only three positive speech precepts rather than four.

Resignation of Manjunatha

From Order Connection on Wed, 20 Jul, 2016 - 21:04

Dear Order members,

Honouring the King's Sacred Duty

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Wed, 20 Jul, 2016 - 00:00
In this talk Sanghanistha shares his reflections on one of Sangharakshita's aphorisms and how this acts as a blueprint for a life that embodies the archetype of the king. A life lived knowing change and directing change by taking responsibility for ourselves as agents of karma, a life lived helping others to also do this and come together to transform the world around us so that it upholds and encourages the highest values. This was the final talk given at the 'Awakening the King' Young Men's Retreat, April 2016.
