Resignation of Suhada

From Order Connection on Tue, 4 Apr, 2017 - 04:47

Dear Order Members,

I recently received a detailed letter of resignation from Suhada. After consultation between myself as his Public Preceptor and with Vessantara, his Private Preceptor, we have agreed to accept his resignation from the Order. We wish Suhada well with his life and continued explorations.

Suhada is from Bristol, UK, and was ordained in October 2001 at Guhyaloka Retreat Centre. His letter of resignation can be read below.

With Metta,
Surata

The Four Kinds of Meditation

From Exeter Triratna Group on Mon, 3 Apr, 2017 - 21:54

There are so many different kinds of meditation practices - how do they relate to each other, which ones should we do?

I first learned this many years ago from Ruciraketu at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre. 

I found it a useful way...

Letter from the Chair of the College of Public Preceptors to all Order Members

From Adhisthana Kula on Fri, 31 Mar, 2017 - 23:56

Following the March meeting of the College of Public Preceptors, Saddhaloka, as Chair of the College, sent a message to all Order members. The ten-day meeting had been concerned with issues currently being raised regarding the Triratna Buddhist Order and Community, and Saddhaloka wanted to communicate the position of the College on these issues. We are now posting the letter, slightly adapted for a wider readership, on the Adhisthana Kula blog, to make it available to all who are interested. The Kula will be continuing...

Narcissism vs The Spiritually Mature and The New Society

From Shabda Articles on Fri, 31 Mar, 2017 - 20:12

Sometimes I’ve heard people refer to “The Triratna Bubble” that suggests an isolation from “the outside world”. Perhaps, an outside world of socio-political changes; an overall sense of doubt and heavy criticism of our political systems; scepticism of anyone’s intentions or ability to effect positive change; campaigns strengthened by fear and hatred, manipulated information often leading to divisive dialogue rushing into impulsive decision making; the world where Trump got elected and Brexit is a reality. Often the intensity and weight...
