Mantras and other things! Starting with an excerpt from Vandanajyoti and Vishvantara’s song to mark the event, we get some lovely songs, mantras, chanting and and readings from the Saturday evening puja at the women’s UK& Ireland Order gathering at Adhisthana. The joy of Dharma practice in large numbers!

The assembled sangha at recent celebrations to dedicate Sangharakshita’s new home, Adhisthana, chanting the White Tara mantra to wish him long life… A fitting way to mark his birthday today!
