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

Questions arising following your passing

By Bodhidasa on Thu, 1 Nov, 2018 - 06:42

Should I mourn your absence?
What form could contain
that unrivalled presence?

Should I weep for you?
What tears offer release
to one already freed?

Should I run to your side?
What frantic display
reveres your stillness?

Should I recall you?
What image gives shape
to your shabby elegance?

Should I speak of you?
What eulogy does justice
to your eloquence?

Should I bequeath garlands?
What wilted flowers
could embody such wisdom?

Should I hold to your words?
Why...

Memorial poem written the day Bhante died

By james murphy on Thu, 1 Nov, 2018 - 02:45

In one way or another, Sangharakshita’s spiritual genius has been the sheet anchor throughout the storm of my own deviating spiritual aspirations and divagations. More often than not, in the middle of any particular struggle for understanding, his was the aesthetic and moral compass which I depended on for a true reading of the way out of the labyrinth; his star the brilliant Sirius on a dark night; his, the lodestone that attracted the light of clarity. My gratitude to him is unrepayable. In...

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.

C’est avec une grande tristesse que nous annonçons le décès le 30 octobre 2018 de Sangharakshita, le fondateur de l’Ordre bouddhiste Triratna et de la Communauté bouddhiste Triratna. Voici une brève présentation de sa vie et de ses enseignements.

Last night we had a special night for Bhante. 40 of us were present for the night, which started with Jnanadhara rejoicing in Bhante and the influence Bhante has had on his life and Triratna. We then chanted 108 Shakyamuni mantras for Bhante, and had a special puja for Bhante.

Much appreciation was expressed for Bhante and all that he has done for us. A book of condolences has also been opened here...

Bhante visits the Four Winds Summer Retreat, 1976

By nagabodhi on Wed, 31 Oct, 2018 - 16:42

… It’s been such a long journey. Hard to express even to myself a fraction of what I’m thinking or feeling. It’s too early to take in, even though we’ve been preparing for years. Confidence and fathomless, mysterious gratitude–and a big warm smile will have to do for today. – And a big mental bear-hug to Vajradipa, who took this picture and who died today.
