Some time ago, Tejananda wrote a piece entitled 'Opening up the Thatch'. In this, he thoughtfully suggests that we need “an open and compassionate discussion” on the issues raised by allegations around historical controversy in Triratna, re-made in a recent short regional TV programme in the UK.
Amongst other points, Tejananda wondered if it would be helpful to engage in some form of ‘truth and reconciliation’ process. Recently, he visited Adhisthana and met with our Kula to discuss some of the questions raised by his paper. At the end of our meeting we recorded this conversation, which I'm please to share here.
