Death of Dharmachari Sambhara

Death of Dharmachari Sambhara

From Order Messenger on Sat, 25 May, 2019 - 07:30

Dear Brothers & Sisters in the Dharma,

It is with sadness that I write to let you know that Sambhara died on Friday 24th May, at 07.30 a.m. BST. After his admission to hospital on 28th April he had been eating and drinking less and eventually was refusing both food and drink. This meant that he lost a lot of weight. His dementia had been getting worse for some months. After his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2017 he confirmed that if, at the end,...

From Espace Sangha de Paris on Thu, 23 May, 2019 - 15:57

Me voilà assise dans le petit parc à côté du nouveau Centre bouddhiste, ayant signé ce matin (accompagné de Pierrick) l’acte final de la vente du 25 rue Condorcet, et cette après-midi celui de l’achat du 49 avenue Edison.

So I too found the ancient path, the ancient trail, travelled by the Fully Enlightened Ones of old” (...

Interreligious climate pilgrim from Oslo

From Buddhist Action on Wed, 22 May, 2019 - 21:25

To inspire greater collaberation around climat action we organize in Oslo an Interreligious climat pilgrimage from Oslo to Fredrikstad to the South of Oslo. Search Facebook for @klimapilgrimsvandring.

We believe that all the various faith systems have in them both dogmas, texts and practices that aim at preserving the environment. If we can connect with the deeper values regarding the environment, in different spiritual networks, it will be easier to mobilize for common environmental causes. We also think that a shift to more...

From North London Buddhist Centre on Wed, 22 May, 2019 - 00:00
