Padmavajra described Sangharakshita’s burial mound as the movement’s ‘most sacred shrine.’ We want to create a mandala of light so that whenever you visit, you can spend time in the memorial garden circumambulating.

Unfortunately, the current solar lights around the burial mound don’t work well; they need to be replaced frequently, aren’t very bright, and, especially in winter when...

New Courses based upon Bhante's Classic Lectures

By Vajrashura on Wed, 28 Sep, 2022 - 16:17
