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...

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...

Female Deities in Buddhism by Vessantara back in stock and Tiratanaloka Unlimited appeal

By Windhorse Publi... on Wed, 10 May, 2023 - 14:53

Many of you will already know or have bought Vessantara’s new edition of Meeting the Buddhas. What you may not know is that, in 2003, he wrote a short companion book called Female Deities in Buddhism: A Concise Guide, which has been out of stock for a while.

Subhadramati, Dhammadinna, Dayanandi and friends will tell this 55 year history through their personal experiences. And...
