Starting our coverage of the spring meeting of the Triratna Preceptors' College - the group of experienced Buddhists who oversee ordinations worldwide into the Triratna Buddhist Order. We hear from Saddhaloka - Chair of the College - on plans for ordination courses as the Order passes the landmark of having 2000 active members. We also hear from Ratnadharini and Parambandhu, two of the deputy Chairs, on international, multi-lingual ordination courses; about sadhana practice as part of the life of any Order member; about retreats for those who actually ordain others into the Order; and about the future of the Preceptors College itself as it grows and diversifies.. #Triratna #PreceptorsCollege #Ordination #Buddhist #Buddhism #Dharma #sangha #community

Satyalila reporting from an inspiring retreat at Adhisthana in the UK for a group of volunteers who came together to help Vidyadevi and Kalyanaprabha with editorial work on the first two of the twenty-seven volumes that will make up the entire Complete Works of Sangharakshita. And to to collectively dedicate their efforts - spiritual and practical. We hear about some of what's involved - from the intricacies of critical diacritics in Pali and Sanskrit terms, to the considerable detective work expended on tracking down even the most obscure of footnote references...

This is an invitation from Stanashraddha and Satyalila at Adhisthana to join us in spirit for a special ritual that will take place there on Tuesday January 12th at 1900 GMT. This ritual is to consecrate and dedicate a two-foot tall Manjusri rupa that will be especially associated with Urgyen Sangharakshita's Complete Works. (Eventually the rupa will sit on a shrine in the Library, there amongst the precious collection of Bhante's rupas, thangkas, and Dharma and other books at the heart of Adhisthana.) During the ritual, which will take place in the Library, various objects will be placed inside the rupa, after which the rupa will be sealed up.
