The Nature of Existence | Seminar retreat

Ordained for almost 50 years, Dhammarati grew up in Hamilton in Scotland, and came in contact with Triranta through the Glasgow centre. He moved to London in 1980, trained as a graphic designer at Central School of Art, and became Chair of the London Buddhist Centre in 1986. He was Chair of the College of Public Preceptors from 2005 till 2015, and during that time helped to set up Triratna’s International Council. He was part of the search team for what became Adhisthana, and moved here in March of 2013. He continues to dabble in graphic design, and his work can be found on books and publicity throughout Triratna.

Instrumental in establishing the Sydney Buddhist Centre, Shubhavyuha returned to the UK as the Assistant to the International Council. She joined the Adhisthana Operations Team in 2019 and later joined the Dharma Team and Teaching Community.

Vidyaruchi has been heavily involved with running the Men’s DharmaLife courses at Adhisthana over the years, as well as maintaining a strong connection with India. He is currently writing a commentary on Sangharakshita’s Survey of Buddhism.
