Success story of Ashwin Jungam

From Aryaloka Computer Education India on Sun, 5 Oct, 2025 - 19:04

I learned programming from Aryaloka Computer Education, and later worked there as a faculty member to teach others. I’ll always be thankful to Aryaketu Dh Sir for introducing me to the world of programming. Without his guidance, I might never have found this path. He’s truly a gem of Nagpur who inspires thousands of students across India to learn computer skills and become independent.

Today, I’m working as a Senior Software Developer at Vodafone in Budapest, Hungary. Recently, Aryaloka institute started the...

Wabi-sabi and the 3 Doorways to Freedom with Vajradarshini
A meditation and reflection home retreat
21-25 November

Reserve your place here

The Buddha taught that there are three doorways to freedom. These doorways open when we turn towards our experiences of impermanence, insubstantiality, and suffering. Known as the lakshanas—the marks of conditioned existence—they can seem uninviting. After all, who wants to look closely at the more painful aspects of life?

Back in the 90s, Vajradarshini came across Leonard Koren’s Wabi-sabi for Artists,...

UK & Ireland Combined Order Convention

From Order Connection on Wed, 1 Oct, 2025 - 17:00

“The Order is a network of spiritual friendships, held together not by rules or hierarchy, but by the common act of Going for Refuge”.

It’s an occasion to strengthen friendships, appreciate one another’s practice, and open ourselves to collective inspiration that can nourish and sustain us.
