A Notice About Avikara's Health

From Order Connection on Tue, 10 May, 2016 - 19:36

Dear Order members,

Last year Avikara in Wellington, New Zealand was diagnosed with systemic mastocyosis, a cancer of the blood. The treatment didn’t work and his health has slowly deteriorated; he has gone from walking with a stick, to using a walking frame, and more recently to being in bed at home. Now he is in bed at the hospice.
 
Over the last week and especially over the last few days, he has become much weaker and very sick....

The Ground

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Mon, 9 May, 2016 - 00:00
'The Ground' - Lineages of Teachings, Practices and Institutions - a talk given at the Triratna Buddhist Order Men's UK & Ireland Area Order Weekend at Padmaloka, 8 May 2016. June 2016 is the fortieth anniversary of the founding of Padmaloka and to mark this, the Padmaloka chapter organised the Area OrderWeekend. It was Bhante who named Lesingham House Padmaloka, telling us that it was one of the names of Padmasambhava's Pure Land, so the Order weekend was devoted to the lineage of Sangharakshita. Some years ago Bhante spoke of his lineage as fourfold: a lineage of teachings, of practices, of inspiration and institutions.
