‘Against the background of bright sunshine, jewel-like glittering raindrops, and hills of the freshest and most vivid green, this plethora of delicate seven-hued bows seemed like the epiphany of another world.’ The Rainbow Road
This year would have been Sangharakshita’s 100th birthday, and to celebrate, we will be running three weekend retreats devoted to different aspects of his life and practice. This first weekend will be on the theme of Sangharakshita as the wandering monk. We will be exploring his ‘going forth’ into homelessness, meeting friends and teachers, and following the instruction of his teacher, settling in the foothills of the Himalayas. What can Bhante’s life teach us in our own, very different, lives? How can we be wanderers, inspired and receptive, as he was?
