Female Deities in Buddhism by Vessantara back in stock and Tiratanaloka Unlimited appeal

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 10 May, 2023 - 14:53

Many of you will already know or have bought Vessantara’s new edition of Meeting the Buddhas. What you may not know is that, in 2003, he wrote a short companion book called Female Deities in Buddhism: A Concise Guide, which has been out of stock for a while.

A Gift to Honour Bhante Sangharakshita

From Adhisthana on Fri, 5 May, 2023 - 10:30

By Maitripa

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.
