Bhante Sangharakshita's funeral travel appeal

From Abhayaratna Trust on Sun, 4 Nov, 2018 - 21:16

Dear friends,

This is an urgent appeal to help Order members travel to Bhante’s funeral on 10th of November at Adhisthana.

JUST GIVE

The Abhayaratna Trust wants to make as many travel grants as possible to Triratna Buddhist Order members within Europe who could otherwise not afford to attend Bhante’s funeral.

We also hope to be able to give 50% travel grants to those living outside Europe and in financial hardship.

An Update On Sangharakshita's Vigil and Funeral Arrangements

From Community Highlights on Fri, 2 Nov, 2018 - 17:35

Dear friends,

Bhante’s body is now at Adhisthana. He arrived yesterday afternoon (Thursday) and around 60 Order members, Mitras and friends from the Adhisthana mandala (the community, people here on meetings etc and local sangha) gathered to welcome him back. It was a beautiful afternoon with stunning light shining over Adhisthana and the hills beyond. The hearse arrived as the light was fading and we lined the drive as the car drove slowly up to the courtyard. In the courtyard Bhante was...

Cérémonie pour Bhante

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Thu, 1 Nov, 2018 - 09:10

Mardi soir, le 30 octobre, nous avons fait une cérémonie pour honorer Bhante au Centre bouddhiste de Paris.

Devant un autel fait pour représenter divers aspects de sa vie, nous avons médité, chanté des mantras et partagé nos sentiments et nos réflexions suite à son décès.

Le goût prédominant était celui de la gratitude et de l’appréciation pour tout ce que nous avons reçu de Bhante, et la conscience que c’est à nous maintenant de porter le flambeau précieux des Trois joyaux qu’il nous...

C’est avec une grande tristesse que nous annonçons le décès le 30 octobre 2018 de Sangharakshita, le fondateur de l’Ordre bouddhiste Triratna et de la Communauté bouddhiste Triratna. Voici une brève présentation de sa vie et de ses enseignements.
