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...

At the end of July, we’re running four events that break from our usual retreat format. They overlap and support each other, offering new ways to spend time and take part in life at Adhisthana. You’re welcome to come for just one, or stay on and take part in several.

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.
