A conversation with Candradasa, Munisha, Parami and Sthanashraddha towards the end of a strong week at Adhisthana, home of Urgyen Sangharakshita, who died last week at the age of 93. 

We talk about our personal relationships to the founder of the Triratna Buddhist sangha over decades, and the great change his passing represents for our community.

Join us online to begin saying farewell to a man whose long work for the Dharma transformed so many lives around the world for the good.

This selfie was taken one year ago.  I am filled with gratitude and appreciation for having such an amazing teacher and friend.  He will always be in my heart.  Thank you, Bhante for the gift of the Dharma.

Best wishes

Fri, 9 Nov, 2018 - 12:48[edit]

I never met Sangharakshita in person, but I felt I met him through his books and through the inspirational friendship of people who knew him. I am sure there are many, like me, whose lives have been quietly but profoundly touched by Sangharakshita’s presentation of Buddhist teachings. I am thankful for those teachings and for the work of Sangharakshita’s order in transmitting the teachings. Best wishes to all who feel his loss.
