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...

Writing about Sangharakshita, by Vishvapani

By Oliviahinde on Mon, 1 May, 2023 - 10:30

Over the last few years I’ve been rereading and writing about Sangharakshita. I started thinking I had something to say about him that would integrate criticisms with appreciation and might be helpful to others in Triratna. But the more I tried to identify what I wanted to say, the deeper I found myself travelling into his writing and his life. I realised that, even though I have been absorbing Sangharakshita’s teachings for four decades and lived with him for six...

An expansion of Adhisthana: Jasmine Cottage

By Oliviahinde on Fri, 21 Apr, 2023 - 10:30

We’re pleased to share that Adhisthana is in the process of acquiring a neighbouring property, Jasmine Cottage. The decision to purchase was an intense process that happened in consultation with a lot of people on a tight timeline.

Thanks to the generosity of four Order Members who already live locally, it is possible for Adhisthana to proceed. Vidyamala, Vijayamala, Sona and Vessantara will sell their own homes and move into Jasmine Cottage once the purchase completes – hopefully in the late summer....

Triratna Day at Adhisthana

By Oliviahinde on Wed, 19 Apr, 2023 - 10:30

By Anne, Volunteer and Mitra from the LBC

Adhisthana was charged with excitement and inspiration as we welcomed sanghas from across the UK and parts of Europe to mark Triratna Day, the 56th anniversary of the founding of the Order in 1967. As well as those on the long weekend retreat, day and online guests joined us on the day itself, amplifying the collective experience of celebration and commemoration; the spirit of community and internationality was palpable. Local sangha friendships...
