Death of Vajrasara

From Order Connection on Fri, 26 May, 2023 - 18:18

Dear fellow Order members,

We are writing to let you know the sad news that our dear Vajrasara died yesterday, Thursday 25th May, around 6pm, at home as she had wanted. Nagamudra, Moksanandi, and Vajrasara’s sisters Kamalini and Clare were in the house with her. After a lot of suffering, she was ready to go. She died peacefully and in awareness, saying she was ‘letting go’, and ‘bye bye’.

This morning the chapter, Clare,...

Touching the Mystery: UK & Ireland Combined AOWE 17 – 20 August 2023, Adhisthana

From Order Connection on Fri, 26 May, 2023 - 16:37

‘There are moments when criticism of a particular kind – the only kind I care for – utterly absorbs me. I feel I am touching a mystery … a darkness that is secretly alive and thrilling to the sense. This, I like to believe, is the reflection in myself of the darkness which broods over the poet’s creative mind.’

Dharmabytes: Closer to Truth Through Silence

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 25 May, 2023 - 06:00

On a Silent Retreat at Taraloka, Samantabhadri honours silence as significant spiritual practice where we dwell more deeply with ourselves, with others, with nature and the objective world, and within a developing atmosphere. All this opens a vision of experiencing ‘Reality as it is’ (Sangharakshita). From the talk Silence: Practice and Vision given at Taraloka Retreat Centre, 2022.

Death of Tejomayi

From Order Connection on Wed, 24 May, 2023 - 15:05

Dear Friends in the Sangha,

Her dedication and the contributions of her entire family played a significant role in establishing the movement in South Nagpur.
 
Tejomayi will be remembered for her kind-heartedness, unwavering faith in the Buddha,...

London Buddhist Centre Statement on Suella Braverman's Involvement in Triratna

From Order Connection on Wed, 24 May, 2023 - 12:12

I just wanted to bring this statement from the London Buddhist Centre as regards Suella Braverman to the attention of the Order.  It primarily addresses inaccuracies in the media about her involvement within Triratna. It is intended to clarify that within Triratna and also for any external media bodies.  

A recent Guardian article incorrectly stated that Ms Braverman is a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order and attends the London Buddhist Centre twice a month.

The London Buddhist Centre wishes to clarify...

What will you do for BAM 2023?
