The Buddha’s Gift of Communication (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 - 13:00

In this lecture Sangharakshita shows how the symbolism of ritual offerings originated in the Hinayana and Mahayana, and later flowered with the Tantric offerings, particularly the offering of the Mandala.

Excerpted from the talk entitled The Symbolism of Offerings and Self-Sacrifice as part of the series Creative Symbols of the Tantric Path to Enlightenment, 1972.

Resignation of Khemavasini

From Order Messenger on Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 - 16:59

Dear Companions in the Good Life,

I am writing to let you know that I have accepted the resignation of Dharmacharini Khemavasini of Valencia, Spain. After discussion with Paramachitta (her private preceptor), her chapter and the regional Order Convenor, Khemavasini has decided that, to quote her letter of resignation, she feels more authentic practicing outside the Order.

Khemavasini was ordained publicly by me in Akashavana in September 2013. We wish her well in her...
