Hastings sangha remembers Sangharakshita

By Jen Rouse on Fri, 2 Nov, 2018 - 10:46

This evening Hastings sangha gathered together to remember Bhante Sangharakshita and the remarkable legacy he leaves behind for the benefit of us all. A single evening was really only an opportunity to start to reflect and process this huge event in the life of the movement – the conversation will continue as everything settles into its new form. We started with the Metta Bhavana, calling to mind both Sangharakshita and those who were closest to him. We listened to Vishvapani’s...

For Bhante

By Aksobhin on Fri, 2 Nov, 2018 - 10:09

The day after hearing the news of our precious teacher’s death I awoke to a strange feeling that the  world seemed more empty somehow. Reading some of my favourite poems by Bhante I came across one with which I was not familiar, however these appropriate lines almost leapt off the page…

Now you are gone; but only as a star, 

Which, though extinct, sheds radiance from afar 

To those who on this dark earth wandering are.

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat 
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách...

Puja for Bhante in Ghent

By arthakusalin on Thu, 1 Nov, 2018 - 21:58

Tonight, in our Buddhist centre in Ghent, we did Maitreyabandhu’s puja for Bhante in Flemish and sang mantras for him. Next to that we sat in silence and remembered our beloved teacher, did metta for him and some memories and rejoicings were shared. Also we listened to Bhante himself singing the Tiratana Vandana. May our Teacher live on through our friendships in the sangha.

Poem

By jyotika on Thu, 1 Nov, 2018 - 11:18

Knowing that I’d be at Adhisthana this month, I was hoping to meet Bhante. I haven’t been with him one to one since I used to read to him in his warm annexe at Madhyamaloka over fifteen years ago; those readings being one of the great pleasures and privileges of my life back then.

I wrote to him early last year to reconnect after a period of struggle in my life during which I tasted many sour fruits, the most plump among them being pride. Having tasted it, and its core of fear and...

भन्ते उर्गेन संघरक्षित 

भन्ते तुम्ही आमची प्रेरणा आहात शिलरूपी गंध आहात
प्रज्ञारूपी दृष्टी तुमची करुणेचा अथांग सागर आहात 

अज्ञानरुपी वाळवंटात फुलवलेली बाग आहात
माणुसकीचा धम्म तुमचा विर्याची खान आहात 

त्रिरत्नावर श्रद्धा तुमची त्याचे तुम्ही अभिवेक्ती आहात 
शरणगमनाचे चैतन्य नवे त्या चैतन्याचे प्रखर तेज आहात 

धम्म हीच संपत्ती तुमची त्याचे सुवर्ण पान आहात 
बोधिसत्वाचे रूप तुमचे संघाचे आधारस्तंभ आहात 

सत्याचा मार्ग तुमचा तुम्ही निर्वाणाचे धनी आहात
भन्ते आजही तुम्ही आमच्या हृदयात जिवंत आहात
भन्ते आजही तुम्ही आमच्या हृदयात जिवंत आहात

Puja for Bhante in Mexico City

By dayaketu on Wed, 31 Oct, 2018 - 23:13

Yesterday evening we got together to do a special puja for our beloved Bhante, in Mexico City Buddhist Centre (Rome neighborhood). We recited Maitreyabandhu’s sevenfold puja for Bhante and also chanted mantras requested by Bhante. Upekshamati led the puja and said some lovely words. Many of us wouldn’t be buddhists if it was not for Bhante and his precious legacy of teachings and the Triratna order.
