The theme for the Autumn Ordination Training Weekend will be:
A Vigorous Training and the Meaning of Ordination.
The weekend will take place from the 28th-30th September and will include:
From the 17th-22nd June, we held our annual 'Open Retreat', one of the few opportunities for men who have not asked for Ordination to get a taste of Padmaloka. The retreat was entitled 'For Heroic Spirits Intended...'
Ratnaguna gave a series of powerful talks on this retreat in which he explored themes from the Ratnaguna Samcayagatha-a Mahayana Sutra from the Perfection of Wisdom school.
Śraddhāpa also gave a talk about translating the text from Sanskrit into English, a new translation of the text by Śraddhāpa was used on the retreat.
The talks by Vajrashura and Padmavajra from the recent Great Gathering weekend are now available online.
The talks were given to a packed shrine room of more than 80 men during the weekend of the 22nd-24th June. The theme of the weekend and the talks was 'The Tiratana Vandana: In Praise of the Three Jewels'.
From the 25th to the 30th May we held our annual five day retreat, this time on the theme of 'Milarepa: Devotion, Lineage and Discipleship'. Padmavajra gave a series of four talks on this theme which are now available on Free Buddhist Audio, find them here: https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/series/details?ser=X135
