Chair's Letter – March 2024

By ratnadharini on Sun, 31 Mar, 2024 - 20:00

(Subhuti has been interviewed by Jyotika on the topic of this paper, and the interview is available here.)

The women’s Private Preceptors’ retreat later that month focussed on Bhante’s ‘My Relation to the...

A Koan for our Times: April - October 2024

Though the Buddha’s way is beyond attainment, I vow to embody it fully.
- a formulation of the Bodhisattva Vow, quoted in Noble Friendship, Khantipalo

It has been a lovely start to the year already. The European Chairs Assembly came for their winter meeting, and it was a great way to kick off 2024; their clear up left the place spotless and you can usually find Maitridevi and a few others playing Bananagrams after dinner (and learn some new words; atavist and quinquereme anyone?).

In community news, Caroline will be going to Akasavana this year and will be ordained by Aryajaya – we look forward to...
