Adhisthana is hiring for two roles

Could you be our next cook or do our publicity?

Bhante Urgyen Sangharakshita envisioned Adhisthana as a place of blessings, where the worldwide Triratna Buddhist Community would gather and engage wholeheartedly with his radical vision of the Dharma in all its breadth, depth and clarity. As we move out of the 10th anniversary year of Adhisthana’s opening and into celebrating the 100th anniversary of Sangharakshita’s birth, our founder and teacher’s vision remains dynamic and alive.

Central to unfolding this vision are Adhisthana’s two single-sex...

Letter from the Chair – December 2024

By Mahamati on Sat, 30 Nov, 2024 - 09:34

Dear Order members and friends,


A year ago at the College’s annual international meeting I was surprised when my fellow College members asked me to take over from Ratnadharini, in a year’s time, as the next College Chair. However, I quite quickly adjusted and have spent much of the last year reflecting on what this responsibility requires of me, and preparing to take it on. I am grateful to Ratnadharini for her support in this handover - I admired her chairing...

Celebrating the Complete Works with the Preceptors’ College at Adhisthana

On Saturday 9 November, during the international meeting of the Preceptors’ College at Adhisthana, we will be celebrating the completion of Sangharakshita’s Complete Works. 

With the publication of the final three volumes, including a remarkable concordance (which you can hear more about here in a beautiful talk, ‘Worlds within Worlds’ by Vidyadevi, given at Adhisthana on the August Order weekend), we now have a collection of twenty-seven volumes of all of Sangharakshita’s previously published work, as well as talks, seminars and...

September at Adhisthana

The Maltese sangha, who joined us for the combined sanghas retreat on Living with Kindness, have made a beautiful new contribution to the alcoves in the main shrine. The atmosphere on-site was as warm as you’d expect from an international gathering of sanghas practicing metta bhavana.

We were also delighted to welcome Shubhavyuha back after her six-month sabbatical in Australia, where among other things, she helped run an ordination retreat. The women’s community is enjoying her positivity and kalyana mitrata, and celebrated...

Open retreat at Adhisthana

By Maitriyogini on Wed, 24 Jul, 2024 - 10:16

Friday 30 August - Friday 6 September

A retreat led by Saddhanandi, Jvalamalini, Manjuvajra + Ratnaghosha

The natural tendency of the mind is to set limits and settle down, but positive emotion goes against this tendency.

We have all been taught the Metta Bhavana, and it is tempting to imagine we know what we will get with a retreat on kindness. But do we consistently act to nurture the seeds of metta in our hearts and minds? It’s possible to live our everyday lives in a way...
