As part of Pilgrims Week at Adhisthana, we will be circumambulating around Sangharakshita’s burial mound for 108 continuous hours. You can turn in at any time and see who is currently circumambulating, day or night.

You may notice that if you tune in at night, you can’t see much! We are currently fundraising to install electric lights in the memorial garden, creating a mandala of light. Please do consider giving to enable this project.

Song of the Brahma Viharas - Being Divine Online home retreat

It’s always good to finish things with a song - and happily, today, here’s one! It’s Ratnavandana chanting the Brahma Viharas song that is usually learned on each ‘Living in the Mandala’ retreat that she leads.

As Ratnavandana kindly sent on some lovely nature photos she has taken, we have made this into a short video which you can enjoy, and hopefully get a feeling for the Brahma Viharas “pervading all quarters”.

The text from this song comes from...
