Resignation of Kuladasa

From Order Connection on Wed, 27 Nov, 2019 - 12:57

Dear Order Members,

Dharmachari Kuladasa / Ray Taylor has written to me, as his Public preceptor, expressing his wish to resign from the Order, which I have accepted after consultation with Buddhadasa, his Private preceptor.

He was ordained at Vijayaloka in January 2003 and lives in Christchurch, New Zealand. He did not want his resignation letter published but will maintain contact with one or two friends in the Order. I wish him well for the future.

Resignation of Dharmacharini Dharmamodini

From Order Connection on Tue, 26 Nov, 2019 - 11:52

Dear fellow Order Members,

With respect and sadness I have accepted Dharmacarini Dharmamodini’s resignation from the Triratna Buddhist Order. 

She was involved in a feedback process following a number of concerns of an ethical nature which were raised and being followed through with her.  It has been a difficult engagement by all involved and at a particularly painful period in Dharmamodini’s life. I had asked Dharmamodini to wait for a period of time before I accepted...

Dharmabyte: Living Like a River

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 25 Nov, 2019 - 14:00

Ratnavandana shares an intensely honest, psychologically intimate, beautifully forensic history of her personal relationship to the practice of upekkha (equanimity) throughout her spiritual life. We hear about ways to assess what is going on in the subtler realms of our experience - and how to look to move beyond them so we too can live like a river…

Excerpted from the talk A Personal Take On Upekkha given as part of the series Brahma Viharas - Bristol Rainy Season Retreat...

FBA Podcast: Redemption is Possible

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 23 Nov, 2019 - 14:00

Here we have Dharmashalin exploring the question: Who is Milarepa and more importantly how is he relevant to us? He’s an incredibly rich character, but what stands out first and foremost is the profound example of transformation, redemption even, that he found in the course of his life.
