Two Pūjās in Sanskrit

From Sanskrit on Thu, 8 Aug, 2024 - 09:04

Here is what Śraddhāpa wrote:

“Earlier this month (July 2024) I taught the first ever Sanskrit Summer School at Adhiṣṭhāna, something which we’re planning to make an annual event. During the summer school, we used Sanskrit in the shrine room, reciting the Sevenfold Puja in Śāntideva’s original Sanskrit.”

Here is:

  • the Saptavidhā pūjā, which contains the Sanskrit text of the puja by Śāntideva, including Śraddhāpa’s translation of the refuges and precepts into Sanskrit.
  • and the Trividhā pūjā, which is Śraddhāpa’s translation of the Threefold Puja into Sanskrit.

Collected Rituals by Kamalashila

From Community Highlights on Tue, 6 Aug, 2024 - 18:02

Launching a book I haven’t really written.  It is a compilation of mostly pujas with some other Buddhist rituals that I have composed or put together from other sources over the years since the early days of Vajraloka.  I think many of you will appreciate them and may wish to do them, too.  The reason that I say I haven’t written it is that Lokabandhu, who has a lot to do with ‘Triratna InHouse...

Puja Texts in Chinese

From Chinese on Sun, 4 Aug, 2024 - 09:30

There are two collections of Puja Texts here, one ‘Traditional’, in traditional Chinese characters, and the other ‘Simplified’, in simplified Chinese characters.

三寶誦本-繁體字 – “Puja Texts in Chinese (Traditional)”

三宝诵本-简体字 – “Puja Texts in Chinese (Simplified)”

These two documents each contain the following texts:

  • The Refuges and Precepts
  • The Threefold Puja
  • The Sevenfold Puja
  • The Dedication Ceremony

These texts have been completely revised by Zoe Lim, Di Fan, Adbhutaja and Śraddhāpa. We have also translated the Sevenfold Puja directly from the original Sanskrit.

Chair's Letter – July

From College of Public Preceptors on Thu, 1 Aug, 2024 - 11:03

Dear Order Members and Friends,

I have just returned home from two Ordination Retreats. The first one was the long Ordination Retreat in Akashavana, Spain, where 19 fine women were ordained. The second one was much shorter in our Retreat Centre here in Vimaladhatu, Germany. It was for Utpaladaya who cannot physically manage the terrain at Akashavana and works as a teacher with limited holiday time. Both retreats were a source of joy and inspiration.

Open retreat at Adhisthana

From Adhisthana on Wed, 24 Jul, 2024 - 10:16

Friday 30 August - Friday 6 September

A retreat led by Saddhanandi, Jvalamalini, Manjuvajra + Ratnaghosha

The natural tendency of the mind is to set limits and settle down, but positive emotion goes against this tendency.

We have all been taught the Metta Bhavana, and it is tempting to imagine we know what we will get with a retreat on kindness. But do we consistently act to nurture the seeds of metta in our hearts and minds? It’s possible to live our everyday lives in a way...
