'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.

In its spread between India and what could broadly be called the West, the Triratna Buddhist movement and order is rather unique in contemporary convert Buddhism.

In this episode, Dhammamegha is in conversation with Vajratara about...

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.

Led by a team of Order members who live and work at Adhisthana, participants delved into the four lineages - inspiration, teachings, practices, and responsibility. There was also training in leading study groups and creating a culture of feedback; hopefully giving participants the confidence and...

The Trustees of the London Buddhist Centre would like to clarify the nature of the relationship between the Home Secretary Ms...

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...

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.

In the thangka, Amitabha is holding up the lotus. The origins of that image are fascinating and mysterious: the image...
