An opportunity to join India Dhamma Trust

There are an estimated 10 million people who have embraced Buddhism, but who need guidance from a committed Sangha on how to deepen their practice. Would you like to make a significant...

Triratna on the BBC World Service

By vajratara on Mon, 18 Apr, 2016 - 12:45

Listen to this recent BBC radio documentary featuring our very own Maitriveer Nagarjuna! It is about why the Dalits, after generations of oppression, are converting to Buddhism. An interesting listen in that it highlights the problems of caste, which it calls apartheid, as well as the current difficulties the new Buddhists face as they leave the dominant Hindu culture. However, I think it presents conversion to Buddhism as a reaction against Hinduism and underplays the inspiration of following the Buddhist path...

By Nandavajra on Wed, 27 May, 2015 - 09:35

6pm Friday 26 June - 3pm Tuesday 30 June 2015 at Adhisthana

The Buddha said the world was “on fire” – burning with greed, hatred, and delusion. What have today’s Buddhists got to say about the state of the modern world, or about the contribution Buddhism can make to improving it? Vaddhaka (whose book on Buddhism and Capitalism - The Buddha On Wall Street - has just been published) will present and compare the ideas of some contemporary Buddhist thinkers,...

Happy 124th Birthday Dr Ambedkar!

By vajratara on Tue, 14 Apr, 2015 - 15:27

Today is the 124th birthday of Dr Ambedkar who did so much for India, including drafting the constitution based on Buddhist principles. However, it isn’t just India. He presented a vision for the future: a society based on Buddhist principles and a radical Sangha to put those principles into action. The IDT is committed to encouraging and supporting the Dhamma Revolution he began, in India and beyond. ”To spread Buddhism is to serve mankind.”

Two forces for good in the world are coming to the UK!

By vajratara on Sat, 13 Dec, 2014 - 18:12Great news! Shraddhavajri and Vidyadharini from India are coming to Adhisthana in February to attend the women’s five month study course.

They have chosen not to get married, which is a very radical step for a woman...
