This evening we are blessed to have Vajratara speak at Sangha Night on Dr Ambedkar, one of our 20th century Great Buddhist Teachers, who has ongoing influence and significance to the practice of millions of Buddhists, including ourselves. Dr. Ambedkar’s vision supports our Sangha friends in India to strive for a more enlightened society based on Buddhist values, with social, economic, and political justice. Vajratara is based at Tiratanaloka, the retreat centre for women who have asked for ordination. In the early 2000s Vajratara lived in Sheffield and worked at the Sheffield Buddhist centre as the Mitra Convenor for women. It is always a joy to welcome her back.
