'Teachers of Enlightenment' and going for refuge as part of a global sangha - a conversation with Vajratara

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 24 May, 2023 - 11:37

Listen to this episode +much more!

The Dharma is a universal teaching and an array of practices for liberation. In history, it is embodied by teachers who respond to the particular forms of suffering and bondage that they are born into, human and social.

Looking back on Adhisthana's 2022 International Course: A film by Prasadachitta

From Adhisthana on Fri, 26 May, 2023 - 12:10

Last year, we had the privilege of hosting a one-month international course for Order Members from around the world, aiming to provide training, support, and the opportunity to forge deep friendships and connections within the international sangha.

Kath is the lady who has grazed her sheep on our land since 2020 (they’ve just arrived again this week). Rory has helped us recently establish a wildflower meadow...

A Gift to Honour Bhante Sangharakshita

Fri, 19 May, 2023 - 18:35

Last year at the Order Convention, I was so struck by the amazing Amitabha thangka in the shrineroom in Wymondham. Having just come back from my ordination retreat in Guhyaloka, I was overjoyed to see such a beautiful image of Amitabha in exactly the form that I visualise in sadhana.
