Sangharakshita's Life and Impact

By sanghadhara on Wed, 31 Oct, 2018 - 14:10

A video I made yesterday. I aimed to summaries bhante’s life and his impact in 1 min. I failed, I did 2 mins, and I still failed. No time in space, no word or images can make justice to his life. Unmeasurable is the impact. I’m for ever grateful! I still cannot believe you’re gone.

Carrying the Flame

By Carol Robertson on Tue, 30 Oct, 2018 - 21:22

Like so many friends today, I am absorbing and reflecting on the passing of my teacher Urgyen Sangharakshita (Bhante). Only a week ago I was at Adhisthana, Bhante’s home, working with the amazing people from Friends of the Sangharakshita Library. Having Danasamudra passing on Bhante’s heartfelt appreciation for the work that we were doing in his memorial library, was so touching as was his emphasis on her passing this appreciation to us. He stressed the importance of this library and his legacy...

After Shrine dedication in Dusseldorf, Germany

It was just three weeks ago I met Banthe. We talked about his latest writings about Islam, about the EBU congress 1991 in Berlin, Ole Nydal, Ayya Khema, and he even remembered when he did the Shrine dedication ceremony for our little group in Dusseldorf, Germany. This was 2007 when this photo was taken.

At the end of your chat there was a knock at the door. I stood up and said...

Gratitude to Bhante

By Nagapriya on Tue, 30 Oct, 2018 - 19:49

Our spiritual teacher, Urgyen Sangharakshita has died. I don´t feel sad (at least not now), just immensely grateful for the courageous, intelligent, and generous life he lived. I had the fortune to meet with him just a couple of months ago along with a group of Mexican friends and he was so welcoming, relaxed, and friendly to us. His teachings have created the context for the whole of my life and I will proudly continue to practise and share them to...
