Resignation of Dayarakshita

From Order Connection on Mon, 16 May, 2022 - 17:05

Dear Order members

I am writing to let you know that Dayarakshita, originally from Deal but more recently from Sheffield, has resigned from the Order. Dayarakshita was ordained at Tiratanaloka in July 2014, with Subhadramati her private preceptor and myself her public preceptor. I have been in contact with both Dayarakshita and Subhadramati, and have accepted her resignation. You can read her resignation letter below. She will be reverting to her birth name of Sally.

We wish her well.

With metta,

Ratnadharini

Some of the team at the Urgyen Sangharakshita Trust join us for a deep dive into the art of digital storytelling and biographical work online, as we hear about the ongoing creative challenges involved in helping a spiritual community hold the legacy of their teacher across generations.

Sangharakshita was a brilliant, complex, sometimes provocative and controversial figure. He was also a friend, a thinker, a writer, and a hundred other things besides. Prajnaketu and Suryanaga discuss with us the making...
