Snowdon: First Ever Trackless Expedition!

By Amalavajra on Tue, 2 Jul, 2024 - 10:33

Trackless is a new team-based right livelihood business running Buddhist expeditions for men under 35.

We launched last month with a three day hike in Snowdonia, culminating in a night alone in a bivvy bag on top of a mountain.

We were completely offline, with periods of meditation, silent walking, and explorations of the Buddha’s life and teachings, as well as local myth.

Amalayodhin, one of the LBC’s Men’s Mitra Convenors, brought JZ (31) and Fred (28). Francis, our qualified Mountain Leader,...

January at Adhisthana

By Maitriyogini on Wed, 31 Jan, 2024 - 16:30

It has been a lovely start to the year already. The European Chairs Assembly came for their winter meeting, and it was a great way to kick off 2024; their clear up left the place spotless and you can usually find Maitridevi and a few others playing Bananagrams after dinner (and learn some new words; atavist and quinquereme anyone?).

In community news, Caroline will be going to Akasavana this year and will be ordained by Aryajaya – we look forward to...

Sub35 Changemakers Weekends

By Ksantikara on Fri, 10 Dec, 2021 - 20:27

Are you a Mitra aged 18-34? Keen to transform yourself and the world? We need you!

A renewed Buddhism needs to confront the modern world as it is. It needs to be a radical alternative to an individualistic consumer society. It needs teachings that help to overcome hatred and prejudice. It needs people living and working together to reduce suffering, tackle loneliness and give meaning to people’s lives.

The world needs a radical blueprint for change. The Dharma, as elucidated by Sangharakshita, provides a...

The Guru's Advice: Sub35 Festival Retreat

By Maitriyogini on Mon, 10 May, 2021 - 12:12

THU 26 AUG – MON 30 AUG

Lived out fully, Buddhist practice is revolutionary. Its purpose is a complete transformation of every element of our lives and of the world around us.

The legendary Tibetan Guru Padmasambhava is the archetype of this transformation. His mythic life story presents a conflict between the forces of light and the forces of darkness – a conflict that takes place within our own hearts and minds. Following his example, we can learn to...
