#PilgrimageUnlimited Begins!

By akasajoti on Mon, 12 Jun, 2023 - 15:28

Ratnadharini’s epic journey to fundraise for Tiratanaloka Unlimited has begun!

After being waved off by the Adhisthana Community on Friday; this morning Ratnadharini set off from Tooting Broadway, showered in petals by Dhammagita, Vajratara, Dhammarati and Akasajoti.

Today she will walk 16.71 miles, along the Thames Path out of London to Shepperton, in 27°C heat and possible storms!

We’ll be following her all the way (in spirit!), sharing her progress and daily video diaries.

Sadhu!

I just wanted to share with you this video produced by the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) on Wildflower Meadows. A lot of the footage from this video was shot at Adhisthana. The sections about bees, sheep and others. There’s also an interview with our very own Buddhist ‘monk’, Sanghadeva.

Kath is the lady who has grazed her sheep on our land since 2020 (they’ve just arrived again this week). Rory has helped us recently establish a wildflower meadow...

Duty and Delight | Hidden Gems

By Caroline I P on Sat, 24 Apr, 2021 - 10:14

What does it mean to really beleive that friendship is the whole of the spiritual life? How will that change how we act?

Being willing to help each other is part of the central enterprise of the spiritual life - to grow. By being with people who we are not hiding anything from, it can connect us to ourselves more, and point us toward the wonder and mystery of what it is to be a human being.

Dhammarati and Saddhaloka discuss some of the jewels to be found in this study material for the online...
