Death of Moksacitta

From Order Connection on Thu, 29 Dec, 2022 - 19:43

Dear Friends,

I’m writing to let you know that Moksacitta died at around 6am this morning, 29th December. Her husband, Owen, was with her and said she died peacefully.

Moksacitta was ordained at Akashavana in September 2013. I am her private preceptor, and Parami was her public preceptor. At ordination, Moksacitta took the Vajrasattva practice.
Towards the end of her life Green Tara also became important to her.

We will send further information...

Excerpted from the talk entitled Not Mine, Not I, Not Self - Unbinding the Tentacles of Clinging - the Way to Fearlessness given on Men’s Event at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, 2013.

Health of Dhammapattiya

From Order Connection on Sun, 25 Dec, 2022 - 16:32

Dear Friends,

I am writing this from the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. I am here under observation until Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge can admit me for heart surgery. I’ve wondered about the timing of this message as I don’t yet have a date for the heart surgery - a triple by-pass. But on 13th December I had what I’m told was a minor heart attack.

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 24 Dec, 2022 - 06:00

We practice the Dharma so that we can transcend our self-clinging, thereby resolving our own suffering and contributing to the resolution of suffering in the world. This is the fundamental purpose of the Triratna Community.

Subhuti returns to Padmaloka after many years to delve into the fundamental principles behind Integration, Positive Emotion, Spiritual Receptivity, Spiritual Death, and Spiritual Rebirth, finding in each new and deeper significance. He invites his hearers to apply them deeply in their own lives.
