Vandanajyoti speaks about her relationship with Sangharakshita and the deep meaning it has had for her. And Nagabodhi remembers his time with Dhardo Rinpoche in Kalimpong, speaking about what he learned from being in the presence of his teacher’s teacher and friend.

Sangharakshita's Diary, March 2014

By lokabandhu on Sat, 5 Apr, 2014 - 05:47Ashvajit writes with his usual summary of Sangharakshita’s diary for the past month, saying - “Misty mornings at Adhisthana this month past have been accompanied by ‘sounds and sweet airs that hurt not’ - by bird song and mild breezes. The mists have often been followed by sunny, though still cool days, and daffodils, primroses and other small flowers have been opening in the bright air.

Bhante’s health has been on the whole good for someone of his age,...

Sangharakshita's Diary, February 2014

By lokabandhu on Sun, 2 Mar, 2014 - 05:56Ashvajit writes with his usual monthly round-up of Sangharakshita’s news, health and visitors, saying -

“The Adhisthana ducks have sometimes been paddling in the field beyond my window rather than in our ponds; however they have not been able to actually swim in the fields around here, which has been the prerogative of ducks in some parts of the UK this month.

Bhante’s health has been much the same, his energy being dependent upon the sleep he...

“Poets and poems have long been loved and revered in Russia. Most dear is Alexander Pushkin, considered the Russian Shakespeare. Be careful if you are asked by Russian if you ‘know’ the poems of Pushkin. They don’t mean...

Föredrag av Guhyavajra

By Viryabodhi on Tue, 12 Nov, 2013 - 14:41Hej alla Triratna-vänner,

Gårdagens personliga föredrag var något speciellt. Guhyavajra pratade otroligt ärligt och inspirerande om sitt liv, från enkla förhållanden i Nya Zeeland, via en hel del experimenterande, kollektivboende, intagande av olika ‘substanser’, kontakten med buddhismen, Triratna (särskilt den tidiga tiden, under början av 1980-talet) och olika möten med Sangharakshita. Guhyavajra är en av dem i Triratna som haft en väldigt rak och givande kontakt med Sangharakshita. I morse berättade han lite mer för mig, underbart. Jag...

Urgyen Sangharakshita on Death and Grief

By Candradasa on Tue, 10 Sep, 2013 - 17:38Over on the Abhayaratna Trust’s website there’s a little-known but fascinating conversation extract from 2007 between Sangharakshita ( the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Community) and Ratnachuda talking about the death of Sangharakshita’s mother and sister. It’s part of a longer, in-depth discussion of death and grief generally, and we wanted to draw your attention to that as well as to the excellent work Abhayaratna Trust does on behalf of members of the Order...
