Padmavajra and Maitreyabandhu gave talks on Padmasambhava at the Triratna Buddhist Order Men’s UK & Ireland Area Order Weekend Padmaloka, 5 May 2018.

The weekend was devoted to the Rainbow-bodied One, the Greatly Precious Guru Padmasambhava. Recently, Bhante reminded us how important Padmasambhava has been for him.

From Buddhist Voices on Thu, 10 May, 2018 - 15:00

I had been looking for so long. And then I saw my first woman Order Member. And that was like the ‘fourth sight’… that inspired me to go for refuge.

“If the Order is spiritually united, if it is in harmony, then a truly wonderful thing will happen. The Order then will be the locus for the manifestation of the Bodhicitta…I need hardly say how much the world needs the Dharma, needs such an Order, such a movement as ours. I have done what I can. I have started the movement. The future of the Order, of the movement is in your hands.”
