Chair's Letter – July 2023 – Subhadramati

By Subhadramati on Tue, 1 Aug, 2023 - 17:55

This month’s update from the College is a bumper edition before we take a break in August…

Recently the Ordination courses at Guhyaloka and Akashavana were completed, led by Maitreyabandhu and Subhadramati respectively; and the College-led ‘Lineage Retreat’ at Adhisthana was a great success, for which Mahamati was on the team. We wanted to share something from each of these aspects of the College’s work, and asked Subhadramati and Mahamati to write more fully. 

I will be taking part in...

Welcome back, Pasadanita, and thank you, Caroline!

By Windhorse Publi... on Wed, 26 Jul, 2023 - 15:00

Last week she who used to be Helen returned to the Windhorse Publications team after three months on leave, most of which she spent on retreat in the remote mountains of eastern Spain. During the retreat she was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order and given a new name, Pasadanita, which means ‘she who is led by confidence and clarity’. We’re sure you’d like to join us in congratulating Pasadanita on her ordination. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

We’d also like to take this...

Communication, Friendship & Ordination - Autism & the Triratna Buddhist Community: Part Three

By Centre Team on Sat, 17 Jun, 2023 - 13:25

Continuing our series of conversations on the subject of autism within The Triratna Buddhist Community, we rejoin Ratnaguna and Prajnanandi for another episode, focusing this time on communication and the development of friendship.

With so much emphasis in our community on the importance of establishing deep spiritual friendships, Prajnanandi shares her experience of how building such relationships can present significant challenges for someone who is neurodiverse.

We also discuss the ordination process within the Triratna Buddhist Community and unpack why many neurodiverse practitioners may...
