Death of Lokamdhara

From Order Connection on Tue, 11 Sep, 2018 - 15:06

Dear Order Members,

I am sad to report that Lokamdhara passed away Monday night, 10th September, at around 9:10 pm. He was 65 years old. Lokamdhara was ordained in October of 1999 by Sona at Guhyaloka, and his sadhana practice is Vajrasattva.

He was able to remain at home with us in Ipswich, UK until the end. He had been a little more restless and disturbed last night, and was therefore provided with a syringe...

Restorative Process Working Group

From Order Connection on Fri, 7 Sep, 2018 - 10:41

This is a short update on who the working group is and what we are doing.

What is Restorative Process?

A restorative process aims to resolve conflict or to repair harm. It relies not on blame, punishment or sanctions, but on restoring relationships by bringing together those involved. They can then see how everyone has been affected, and there is an opportunity for everyone to be involved in repairing the harm and meeting the needs of those involved.

Working Group set up in 2018

Current members: Ratnadharini, Shantigarbha,...

Pour lui, l’écologie, l’avenir de notre planète, si dangereusement en péril, doit être le facteur...
