Updated versions of ritual texts in Japanese

From Japanese on Sat, 28 Jan, 2023 - 21:42

Hello all,

here you can find the updated versions of the ritual texts, which have been translated by Shraddharocani and checked together with Maitripushpa and myself. Some words have been changed to create greater continuity between the texts as well as create the appropriate flow of language. 

I hope you enjoy them!

The beginning of 2023 at Akashavana

From Akashavana on Wed, 25 Jan, 2023 - 15:12

As I write, the sun is streaming in through the window heralding warmer days to come…we’re still very much in winter with a smattering of snow on the ground and ice in our buckets and outdoor washing bowls.

Padmasakhi and I returned to the community house last week from our winter sojourn in the UK and are gradually picking up the threads that we will weave into this year’s retreat season - beginning with the 11 week ordination retreat which begins...

Communication Exercise from Our Transgender Retreat

From People to People, Nagpur, India. on Sun, 22 Jan, 2023 - 14:53

It is seen in India, in the society, the members of the transgender community experience daily ‘neglection’ and are ‘avoided’ by the people on road when they ask for help. People respond badly. They feel deep down pain and sadness.

Next month we’ll be publishing a biography of Sangharakshita by Nagabodhi: Sangharakshita: The Boy, the Monk, the Man.
