Suspension of Tejadhamma

Suspension of Tejadhamma

From Order Connection on Mon, 12 Sep, 2022 - 18:19

Dear fellow Order members,

I regret to inform you that Dhammachari Tejadhamma from Nagpur has been suspended from the Order for a serious breach of the precepts.

Suvajra, his Private Preceptor, and I, his Public Preceptor, have been working with Amrutdeep and Amoghasiddhi, who are members of the local Preceptors College Kula, and have come to the conclusion that his actions have been serious enough to warrant this step, especially as he had already been put on probation in relation to similar acts. We hope that there is a possibility...

Hi friends

Eight weeks and 3 days ago while working at a school in Sheffield I had an accident during a PE lesson. When running, rather too easily my foot landed awkwardly and caused a level 6 Schatzker (‘V’ or ‘U’ shaped) tibial plateau fracture.  A few days later the surgeons decided the best treatment was surgery and fitting a Ilizarov external frame, that would be in place 3 to 6 months, it has a better long-term outcome than a  screw-plate...

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...
