September at Adhisthana

By Maitriyogini on Thu, 3 Oct, 2024 - 10:12

The Maltese sangha, who joined us for the combined sanghas retreat on Living with Kindness, have made a beautiful new contribution to the alcoves in the main shrine. The atmosphere on-site was as warm as you’d expect from an international gathering of sanghas practicing metta bhavana.

We were also delighted to welcome Shubhavyuha back after her six-month sabbatical in Australia, where among other things, she helped run an ordination retreat. The women’s community is enjoying her positivity and kalyana mitrata, and celebrated...

New Podcast: The Three Body Solution

By Candradasa on Mon, 30 Sep, 2024 - 14:00

Home Retreats help us inject some of the powerful teachings of the Buddha directly into our everyday lives. This week we’re joined by Balajit, Singhashri and Viveka to talk about what lies behind their latest week-long collaborative venture with The Buddhist Centre [Live] - the enigmatically titled ‘The Three Bodies of Belonging’.

In this episode we dive into the the traditional Buddhist teaching / images / metaphors / experiences of the three kayas (‘bodies’): Dharmakaya, Samboghakaya and Nirmanakaya. These are correlated...

Hi all!

We would love to welcome an Order member or mitra to join our queer-friendly community of four at Kalyanaloka later this year! We are three mitras training for ordination and our community life is built on a foundation of friendship and commitment to the three jewels. We have regular community time and meditate together in our dedicated shrine room.

Chair's Letter – May 2024

By ratnadharini on Sat, 1 Jun, 2024 - 17:46

Dear Order Members and friends,

Thanks to Purna for his evocative letter last month from Sudarshanaloka, the ‘land of beautiful vision’, in New Zealand; I’m very much looking forward to being there for the first time in a few months.

A few weeks ago I was at another of our retreat centres: Akashavana, ‘the forest retreat of luminous space’, in Spain. It was an informal visit as I hadn’t been there for many years and wanted to connect with the...

May at Adhisthana

By Rush on Fri, 31 May, 2024 - 12:23

In May we welcomed 80 retreatants for our second ever People of Colour retreat and had the largest Philosophy Symposium yet, on Liberty, Nietzsche and Buddhism. We also had our yearly Blake retreat drawing on our retreatants’ wilder sides, and were delighted to host the York/Scarborough and Manchester sanghas. Towards the end of the month, we also had the honour of hosting the funeral for Srisambhava, with 90 guests paying their respects in the Main Shrine room.

The Operations team has been well supported...

Suvana Cohousing

By Centre Team on Fri, 19 Apr, 2024 - 17:06

Here’s a great conversation between Jnanavaca and Tejasvini about the creation of a visionary new project in Cambridge, UK. Part of Suvana Cohousing’s vision is to create a multi-generational community, and also to provide some housing for Triratna retirees. For example, people who have lived many years in Buddhist communities but may need to have their own living space in retirement. And also younger people who struggle to find secure housing.

For anyone interested in this brilliant initiative - perhaps...
