teaching community events

Through a deeper engagement with each other and with Sangharakshita’s elucidation of the Dharma, the Teaching Community is exploring Bhante’s teaching in a way that is faithful to its essential elements while supporting a creative evolution in response to new needs and circumstances – a dynamic continuity. Our retreats aim to communicate the distinctive spirit and character of Sangharakshita’s teaching and to pass it on, so we can connect with the mind of the man, and with the adhisthana que fluye a través de él.
