UK & Ireland Combined Order Weekend

From Order Connection on Fri, 20 Jun, 2025 - 12:15

21-24 August 2025, Adhisthana

The Monk & The Muse

Sangharakshita II wanted to meditate and realise the truth.
Sangharakshita I wanted to experience the richness of life.

This once-in-a-lifetime Combined Area Order Weekend for UK & Ireland marks the centenary of Sangharakshita’s birth anniversary — an opportunity to come together as the Order in gratitude, reflection, and celebration.

An Update on Ratnachuda's Health

From Order Connection on Thu, 19 Jun, 2025 - 21:46

Ketumati develops a profound critique of our usual assumptions and a revised version of holistic thinking. Excerpted from the talk From the ‘Nature’ Delusion to the Wisdom of the Earth given at Adhisthana as part of the series Wisdom of the Earth: Philosophy and the Climate...

Health of Ratnachuda

From Order Connection on Tue, 17 Jun, 2025 - 12:26
