I am very sad to inform you that Dhammachari Kusaladipa (Kusaladeep) passed away on 27th November 2021 around 11pm. He was hospitalized for kidney failure and was on dialysis for a few weeks.

It’s been almost a year that I’ve been in this new role. On the whole I am really enjoying working in the role, even though at times I have found it very challenging.

Viveka concludes this Anapanasati Sutta: Instructions for Awakening retreat with a final exploration of the wisdom tetrad, focusing on the experience of relinquishment and offers suggestions on bearing with confoundment through imagination and inquiry.
Part of the resources for the Home Retreat, ‘How To Really Save the World’, here is a core text for metta (loving kindness) practice in the Buddhist tradition.
Beautifully chanted by Vimalanandi, the chanting of the sutta is accompanied by images of the Buddha Amitabha, the Buddha of the western direction traditionally associated with love.

We wanted to let you know that Satyamala was discharged from hospital on Wednesday, 24 November after three and a half weeks in an acute ward. She had a significant septic infection as well as pneumonia, and there were times where we wondered if she would pull through, but she has, though she is less robust than when she went in and it is unlikely that she will regain this strength and vitality. We owe...
