At the edge of the English North Sea, Scarborough can be a dark and isolated place in the Winter. This means that the routes to York and surrounding areas often become impassable for a few months of the year.

The York Sangha and Chair, Shakyapada, acknowledged that there was a spirit and level of engagement in Scarborough that deserved to be met without the requirement of lengthy and potentially treacherous travel to the York Buddhist Centre. Mahashraddha compassionately responded to the need for the Dharma in the small seaside town of Scarborough and so left his home and started a new life there.

Built from nothing, and in a very short period of time, the sangha there has flourished exponentially with the help of you, FutureDharma donors.

We are delighted to share with you below thoughts from Mahashraddha himself, as well as from two of the Mitras. Sadhu Scarborough!
