January at Adhisthana

By Maitriyogini on Wed, 31 Jan, 2024 - 16:30

It has been a lovely start to the year already. The European Chairs Assembly came for their winter meeting, and it was a great way to kick off 2024; their clear up left the place spotless and you can usually find Maitridevi and a few others playing Bananagrams after dinner (and learn some new words; atavist and quinquereme anyone?).

In community news, Caroline will be going to Akasavana this year and will be ordained by Aryajaya – we look forward to...

Farewell thank you collection for Munisha and Amaladipa

By ECA Safeguarding on Wed, 17 May, 2023 - 09:13

Following yesterday’s post about Munisha and Amaladipa moving on from Safeguarding work in Triratna, here is a message from those raising money to thank them both, and to enable Munisha to have a rest before seeking further employment.

https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/thank-you-to-our-safeguarding-team#start

“Back in 2016, Munisha saw the need for Triratna Centres to comply with legislation around the protection from harm of children and adults. Ably helped by Amaladipa (bringing considerable expertise from a career in the probation service) they pioneered the support for...

Translating 'Sailing the Worldly Winds' into Hebrew

By Viryabodhi on Mon, 28 Nov, 2022 - 08:43

Read Prakashika’s story of translating ‘Sailing the Worldly Winds’ into Hebrew and eventually getting it published.

לשוט עם רוחות העולם – מדריך בודהיסטי לצליחת סערות החיים / וג’רגופטה

Earlier today I finally received my printed copies of the Hebrew translation of Sailing the Worldly Winds – A Buddhist Way through the Ups and Downs of Life by Vajragupta. It’s hard to describe the feeling of flicking through this little book, seeing it stand on its own, after being in the making for some 18 months.

Chairs' Letter – January 2022

By ratnadharini on Mon, 31 Jan, 2022 - 17:31

Dear Order members and friends,

A week or so ago we received news of the death, at the age of 95, of Thich Nhat Hanh, founder of the Order of Interbeing and the Plum Village tradition of Engaged Buddhism, and well known for his teachings on mindfulness, peace and ecology. I still have my copy of ‘The Miracle of Mindfulness’ from 1988, when there were far fewer Dharma publications generally available in the west, and remember how...

Photos from the 2020 Winter ECA Meeting at Adhisthana

By Sadayasihi on Tue, 14 Jan, 2020 - 14:35
  • Aryanita, Sanghanistha and Saddhanandi gave short talks on their vision as the Chairs of the Paris Buddhist Centre, Padmaloka and Adhisthana respectively.
  • Aryanita is the Chair of the Paris Buddhist Centre - a role she took on only one year after ordination. Having come from a business background, assisting in the formulation of organisational strategy and vision, a key learning for her has been the realisation that efficiency isn't the most important thing in the building of sangha, but rather helping people to develop.
  • Gunabhadri and Aparajita from the Development Team
  • The Development Team (missing Prajnaketu, the Young Buddhist Coordinator!): Aparajita, Gunabhadri, Munisha and Nandavajra

Here are some photos from the 2020 Winter European Chairs Assembly meeting which took place at Adhisthana. The ECA meeting is a chance for those chairing Triratna Buddhist Centres across Europe to come together, practice the Dharma, develop friendships and discuss issues of relevance to their sanghas and the Triratna movement, as a whole.
