After 2500 years, the Buddha’s vision of human spiritual life...

Chairs' Letter – November 2022

From College of Public Preceptors on Thu, 1 Dec, 2022 - 12:28

Dear Order members and friends,

When I last wrote, a month ago, we had just marked the fourth anniversary of Bhante Sangharakshita’s death at Adhisthana. A meeting of the International Council was underway, and by the end of a very harmonious and enjoyable meeting we had clarified the purpose of the IC and agreed on strategic priorities.

A couple of days later, the annual international ‘in person’ gathering of the College of Public Preceptors began....

'Differing Views, Deepening Harmony' Men's UK and Ireland Order Weekend, February 2023

‘Differing Views, Deepening Harmony’
Men’s UK and Ireland Order Weekend
3rd - 5th February at Adhisthana

In a world divided by conflicting views can we set a better example? Can we lightly hold our differing points of view within an ever-deepening harmony?

Inspired by Amoghasiddhi, who holds a vision of unity in his left hand, our weekend will include his sadhana and puja. Subhadassi will present ‘Differing Views’ and Ratnaghosa will speak on ‘Deepening Harmony’.

Translating 'Sailing the Worldly Winds' into Hebrew

From Triratna Translations on Mon, 28 Nov, 2022 - 08:43

Read Prakashika’s story of translating ‘Sailing the Worldly Winds’ into Hebrew and eventually getting it published.

לשוט עם רוחות העולם – מדריך בודהיסטי לצליחת סערות החיים / וג’רגופטה

Earlier today I finally received my printed copies of the Hebrew translation of Sailing the Worldly Winds – A Buddhist Way through the Ups and Downs of Life by Vajragupta. It’s hard to describe the feeling of flicking through this little book, seeing it stand on its own, after being in the making for some 18 months.

New Year's Retreat (online) 28 Dec-1 Jan

This Being, That Becomes

This being, that becomes
From the arising of this, that arises.
This not being, that does not become
From the cessation of this, that ceases…
Nidanasamyutta

Reflect on the end of one year and open to the new. These words from the Buddha provide us with a potent and pithy statement of this transition – and of a central Buddhist truth of dependent arising.

Spend this valuable time of ceasing and arising on retreat with Bodhilila and the...

Early Buddhism Study Group (Online) - WLBC - Sunday 27 November 4-5.30pm 

From West London Buddhist Centre on Thu, 24 Nov, 2022 - 10:26

The Buddha lived all of two and a half thousand years ago. However, the writings of the Pali Canon offer us a window onto his words and his personality. Join us for study of these earliest Buddhist scriptures, exploring what message they might have for us in these unprecedented and uncertain times. We will start each session with a brief period of Pali chanting and meditation before we read and reflect on a sutta. Join us for an exploration of...
