News about Advayamati’s end of life care 

From Order Connection on Sat, 1 Oct, 2022 - 10:58

Dear Friends,

I wrote some months ago to say that Advayamati has pancreatic cancer. He arrived
back in Colchester to his house in Northgate Street in early September. He lived here with Pennie and Jaiya for many years when they moved out of London. Pennie still lives in Colchester and so is on hand to give her support to both Jaiya and Advayamati.

Pennie is Advayamati’s ex-partner, and Jaiya is his son. Advayamati and Pennie kept up a very good connection after their relationship ended....

FBA Podcast: The Cremation Ground

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 1 Oct, 2022 - 06:00

Vidyasakhi vividly draws us into the magical world of the Eight Cremation Grounds where Padmasambhava tamed demons and engaged in his Bodhisattva training. Vidyasakhi is a musician and Padmasambhava practitioner with a background in storytelling. She has used these skills to dramatise The Life and Liberation of Padmasambhava and is a very good guide into the symbolism of this sacred space.

This talk was given at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre, 2017.

Three weeks ago I set off on a road trip with Aryadrishti, one of the American Order Convenors, taking in some of the places I’ve not been to before: Seattle, Portland (Oregon), Missoula,...
