Death of Dayabandhu

From Order Connection on Wed, 14 Dec, 2022 - 10:36

Dear Order Members,

I am writing to notify you of the death of Dayabandhu on Sunday 11th December at 9:39pm. He was 83 years old.

Last week he stopped eating and drinking and was transferred to the Royal London Hospital where it was discovered that he had suffered two strokes. The consultant who...

A Field of Blessings

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Mon, 12 Dec, 2022 - 00:00
In this intimate and beautiful talk, we hear five speakers explore the theme of blessings in a personal and honest way. By reviewing various episode from their lives they invite us to get a fuller sense of what receiving blessings might look like for us in our everyday lives. The evening was hosted by Maitreyabandhu and Surata, Padmasagara, Vidyadaka and Nityabandhu shares aspects of the field of blessings of their lives. This was recorded during the Going for Refuge retreat in the autumn of 2022 at Padmaloka.

Hi all,

I thought you would want to know that Joanna Macy, who I know is a great inspiration for many of us, is in hospital with pneumonia.  She is 95 now but apparently is fighting the infection.

Please think of her in your meditation, prayers, metta.

En Myriad Av Stjaernor-Padmasambhavas Symbolism

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Sun, 11 Dec, 2022 - 00:00
Guru, mystiker, demontämjare, traditionsgrundare, magiker, andlig vän… Padmasambhava var en av mästarna som tog Dharma från Indien till Tibet, där han än idag ses som “en andre Buddha”. Utöver värdet av hans livsgärning och undervisning för han med sig en oerhört rik symbolism och låter det arketypiska bryta igenom till oss. Under en dagretreat var det just med symbolspråket och i den arketypiska dimensionen av Padmasambhava vi uppehöll oss. Meditativt, rituellt och interaktivt bekantade vi oss med hans attribut och deras djupare betydelse: Vajran (åskviggen/diamanten). Kranieskålen fylld med odödlighetsnektar. Treuddsstaven. De tre lagren av hans dräkt. Den gamfjäderprydda hatten.
