International Women's Day 2021: Dhiraprabha

From Triratna Women on Tue, 9 Mar, 2021 - 18:07

I’m Dhiraprabha. In 1983, I lived by the sea in North Norfolk, England, and taught in the local primary school. I loved it, especially the wide open skies, and never wanted to live in a city. Five years later I found myself in East London drawn by the desperate shortage of teachers “just for two years” - but I remained there until I retired in 2019. I was introduced to the London Buddhist Centre by Maitreyi in 1997 and was...

Health of Vijayamuni

From Order Connection on Tue, 9 Mar, 2021 - 11:34

Greetings brothers & sisters,

Some of you may know that Vijayamuni’s health had deteriorated recently due to a secondary tumor in his upper spine. This caused a lot of pain and made walking progressively difficult.
At the beginning of this month he could not walk and was taken to Auckland hospital by his sister, Sue. He was seen immediately by various specialists who then admitted him. He had an MRI and surgery to try and remove...

Resignation of Karunamati

From Order Connection on Tue, 9 Mar, 2021 - 10:43

Dear Order members,

Karunamati, from London, has talked with Karunamaya, her private preceptor, about her wish to leave the Order, and after talking it through with Karunamaya I have accepted Karunamati’s resignation. I was Karunamati’s public preceptor when she was ordained at Bhaja on 23rd January 2005.

Karunamati will go back to using her birth name ‘Jane’, and her resignation letter (in English and Spanish) can be read below.

We wish her...

International Women's Day 2021: Mokshini

From Triratna Women on Tue, 9 Mar, 2021 - 08:36

My name’s Mokshini. I was ordained in 1999, during a 2 week training-for-ordination retreat at Tiratanaloka. In September 2018 I moved to Berlin, and since February 2020 I’ve been living in a women’s community with five other delightful beings. I am training to be a community nurse for senior citizens; once I finish – towards the end of this year - I plan to divide my time working for a living and extending my involvement in Dharma activities.
