Day Three #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Windsor to Henley

By akasajoti on Wed, 14 Jun, 2023 - 23:39

Brambles, blisters and a kingfisher… 🌞🌸

She writes:

Windsor to Henley; 18 miles and the longest of the first 5 days, so a relief to have managed it. Thames path to Maidenhead, then I cut across to Henley on the Berkshire loop of the Chiltern Way and local footpaths (which meant bramble scratches and nettle stings). Henley-on-Thames is a pretty town, famous for the annual boat race.

Day Two #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Shepperton to Windsor

By akasajoti on Tue, 13 Jun, 2023 - 23:30

She writes:

Day Two: Shepperton to Windsor (although I’m actually staying across the bridge in Eton) - still following the Thames. ‘Only’ 14.5 miles, but it felt as strenuous as yesterday’s 17; so I’m nervous about tomorrow’s 18. I’ll start early, but there’s no avoiding the heat. I’ve got a great rain/sun hat, and am carrying lots of water. Really appreciate the video messages from friends!

I’ve walked past some stunning riverside properties, both ancient and modern, with a range of craft moored in...

Day One #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Tooting Broadway to Shepperton

By akasajoti on Tue, 13 Jun, 2023 - 23:05

On Monday morning Ratnadharini set off from Tooting Broadway, and by the end of the day she had walked 16.71 miles (in 27°C heat!), along the Thames Path out of London, ending in Shepperton.

She writes:

Vajratara, Dhammagita, Akasajoti and Dhammarati waved me off from Tooting Broadway; Dhammagita with beautiful perfumed rose petals! Thanks dear friends. It was surreal to be setting off due West across South London (I’m a Northerner myself), but there were some stretches of surprisingly green tracks. Even so, it...

#PilgrimageUnlimited Begins!

By akasajoti on Mon, 12 Jun, 2023 - 15:28

Ratnadharini’s epic journey to fundraise for Tiratanaloka Unlimited has begun!

After being waved off by the Adhisthana Community on Friday; this morning Ratnadharini set off from Tooting Broadway, showered in petals by Dhammagita, Vajratara, Dhammarati and Akasajoti. 

Today she will walk 16.71 miles, along the Thames Path out of London to Shepperton, in 27°C heat and possible storms!

We’ll be following her all the way (in spirit!), sharing her progress and daily video diaries.

Sadhu!

Thinking of Asking for Ordination? Undertaking the quest together

Thinking of Asking for Ordination? Undertaking the quest together

By vajratara on Sat, 27 Jun, 2020 - 08:55

This is part of an online event for people thinking of asking for ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order.

What are our next steps in this potent time, where the unconscious becomes conscious and we question where we are headed individually and collectively? What part does the Tiratana Buddhist Order play in a new post-lockdown world? Why have an Order at all? How can committing to the Order help us to deepen our Dharma practice and help the world? Vajratara explores all...
