Days 5 & 6 Gallery - Part 1: At the Mahabodhi Temple

By Candradasa on Tue, 5 Mar, 2013 - 12:53
Days 5 & 6 were pretty full. Here are some shots from the half of one day when the men were doing some reflection at the Mahabodhi Temple (our Dharmacharis alternated venues with our Dharmacharinis for two days of ‘single sex’ conventions)…

Falling Behind, Catching Up!

Falling Behind, Catching Up!

By Candradasa on Sat, 2 Mar, 2013 - 04:45Good morning from Bodh Gaya and the last day of the Order Convention! We’re obviously not quite keeping up with the amazing flow of Dharma material but today is the last day and as everyone starts to depart we will be keeping going until you’re all caught up - wherever you are! Should only take a few days - look out for talks (we sorted out the sound!) and interviews and videos and the rest from days 4-6…

Convention Boo No. 3 - Nissoka and Triratna in Bodh Gaya

By Candradasa on Wed, 27 Feb, 2013 - 18:11
Nissoka has dedicated pretty much his whole Dharma life thus far to establishing a Triratna centre at Bodh Gaya, seat of the Buddha’s Enlightenment and in some ways the great meeting place for Buddhists in the modern age. His new book on this great work is out, so a perfect excuse for a catch-up with him and to hear why this project is so important as part of Triratna’s participation in the wider Buddhist world.

Day 2 Gallery - From Procession to Puja

By Candradasa on Tue, 26 Feb, 2013 - 02:52
A full day that began with the mindful procession to the Mahabodhi temple to sit before the Vajrasana. When we got there we discovered our place was being used by Tibetans who had stayed one day more than expected! Later, Subhuti gave his talk, ‘Revering and Relying on the Sangha’, and then we returned at night to the seat of the...

We gathered at dawn to walk mindfully to the seat of the Buddha’s Enlightenment: an international Order of women and men, coming together regardless of class, caste, gender, or any other discriminating factor. Going beyond all that together through the streets of Bodh Gaya…
