Update from Vimalamati Sept and now Oct

From Order Connection on Sun, 11 Sep, 2022 - 15:22

Hi friends

Eight weeks and 3 days ago while working at a school in Sheffield I had an accident during a PE lesson.

Prajnaparamita Practice Resources & Connection (group)

From Order Dharma (test space) on Sun, 11 Sep, 2022 - 14:48

Dear Order Kin,

I created this group in the hope of connecting with others who are engaged in some kind of practice or relationship with Prajnaparamita. This is both for networking and friendship, as well as for crowd-sourcing resources. It’s a way for me to stay in touch with my sadhana, meet new friends, and find new ways of enlivening my practice. I really hope it can of service to the Order. (I am aware that Preceptors have a private space where...

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 10 Sep, 2022 - 15:34

Attn: Order Members… we still have places available on our retreat on the verses from the Bardo Thodol – one of the main insight reflections recommended by Bhante from the very early days of the movement. 23rd September - 2nd October. More information and booking here…

‘Bardo’ literally means ‘in-between’, so the Bardo of Life is an experience of aliveness arising between dream states. But what does it mean to be alive, to be awake to the full mystery...

Abhaya's Health

From Order Connection on Fri, 9 Sep, 2022 - 21:34

As many of you know, Abhaya has had cancer for some months. He recently was able to get on the Area Convention at Wymondham for a few days, selling his autobiography. Last week he managed to get to the Malverns to visit old friends.

Since Paramartha kindly drove him back home to Brighton on Tuesday, he has been really struggling with his health. He contacted me this morning, 9th September, with a great sense of urgency and wanted...

Filmed with three cameras at Adhisthana, their conversation explored the essential Buddhist teachings about the mind and how to make the most of it. Subhuti’s insights are truly remarkable!
