The Buddhist Centre team received news that Bhante was gravely ill and immediately entered into puja, during which time Bhante passed away. Since then, we have had a special shrine in place in the festival theatre, which held a continuous ritual until the following evening and concluded with a puja led by Arthapriya. Our Sangha night held a puja with over 100 people, led by our Chair, Ratnaghosha and with reminiscences from Padmasuri. The theatre is available for Sangha members...

Facing Mount Kanchenjunga

Facing Mount Kanchenjunga

kiedy umierał Bodhisatwa
powinny były dzwonić dzwony,
lecz nie dzwoniły, bo był wtorek.

na moich oczach Kanczendzonga
dziś rozpłynęła się w powietrzu.
nie zostawiając powodów do smutku.
(więc czemu płaczę?)

dopóki w myślach ściskam Twą dłoń
delikatniejszą niż pergamin -
- nie muszę się z Tobą żegnać.
