First Retreat for Italian Speakers

By Suvarnagarbha on Wed, 8 Oct, 2025 - 18:49

In September we held our first long weekend for Triratna Italian speakers at Adhiṣṭhāna. We had about 12 people on the retreat. Some flew from Italy and other parts of Italy to be with us. We enjoyed studying a passage from Sangharakshita translated into Italian and the retreatants very much enjoyed the chance to participate in Dharma discussion in their mother tongue. It was a very lively discussion group. We also did puja and rituals in Italian.

We hope that...

Science and Subjectivity Retreat

By hallykelly on Thu, 18 Sep, 2025 - 11:09

Science makes sense of the objective world, including the human brain and nervous system. But what of private inner experiences – subjectivity? Can you be objective about that?

This seminar is for order members with a scientific background or an interest in science. We’ll have presentations from Munissara, Jnanadasa, Vaddhaka, and perhaps others; all have thought deeply about subjectivity from both Buddhist and scientific angles.

Munissara, a psychiatrist, explains methods for exploring the mind, which can even assess deep psychology and degrees of insight. Jnanadasa,...

New role available at Adhisthana

By Maitriyogini on Wed, 23 Jul, 2025 - 11:43

There are seven buildings that comprise Adhisthana’s indoor spaces, ranging in age from 30 to 230 years old. In our first decade these spaces have already hosted countless retreatants, pilgrims and visitors who come here to be inspired by Bhante Sangharakshita’s vision of the Dharma. They walk through our doors, hang out in the lounges, sit together in the shrine room, gaze out of the windows at the grounds, and before too long find themselves feeling at home. Adhisthana provides...

Adhisthana is hiring for two roles

By Maitriyogini on Mon, 24 Mar, 2025 - 10:30

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...
