Resignation of Nirmanavati

From Order Connection on Tue, 18 Mar, 2025 - 10:40

Dear Order members,
 
I am sad to inform you that I have accepted the resignation of Nirmanavati of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.  She was ordained in Adhisthana in September 2021 in the first large in person women’s ordination retreat after the lockdown. Gunabhadri was her private preceptor and myself the public. Nirmanavati first wrote to me in January when I was in India. I let her know that and we agreed that we would speak before I formally...

Proposing Dharmacharini Satyalila as International Order Convenor

From Order Connection on Mon, 17 Mar, 2025 - 12:46

We would like to propose Dharmacharini Satyalila as the International Order Convenor to replace Aryajaya, and we are asking for your blessing. Satyalila would become joint International Order Convenor with Vajrapriya.

Given the size of the Order today, it is impossible for all of us to have a personal connection with everyone appointed to a central position. At the same time, in asking for blessings for this appointment, we also give an opportunity for you to correspond with...

Fund-raising for Suryavana 

From Suryavana Retreat Centre on Thu, 13 Mar, 2025 - 16:23

Hi all. I was meditating this morning and perhaps as a consequence of a conversation yesterday with a friend back in the UK it occurred to me to send out this message.

Excerpted from the talk entitled How Flowers Teach the Way to Enlightenment given at London Buddhist Centre as part...
