Establishing the Dharmacharya

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Mon, 24 Oct, 2022 - 00:00
What is the history of the Dharmachari Ordination in the Triratna Buddhist Order? What are the other various 'chariyas' in Buddhist tradition? And most importantly, how do we establish and deepen the Dharmacharya; the life lived in and through the Buddha's teaching? Perhaps in doing so, we'll eventually be able to discover for ourselves the profound truth of the Buddha's Enlightenment. In this talk, Padmavajra shares his experience, reflections, and insights into the nature of ordination and how to deepen and establish the Dharma Life. In doing so, he evokes the vision of what that life might look like and what it might lead to. The talk was given during the Autumn Going for Refuge Weekend at Padmaloka in 2022

Dear Sangha brothers and sisters,

I am very sad to inform you that Dhammachari Shiladhvaja (Ulhasnagar)

He was a very kind, soft-spoken and welcoming person and had good relationships within his local centre. 

He was ordained at Bordharan Retreat Centre on 17th December 2017. Anomadassi was his private preceptor, and public ordination was given...
