Friday new moon puja
Special Puja celebrating the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Order
Many people are very grateful for what Sangharakshita has done in making the Dharma accessible to them, in their contemporary lives. He has done this through his writings, through his establishment of the Triratna Buddhist Order and the Triratna Buddhist Community and through his own dedicated practice.
Our Puja for this evening will be a special annual celebration of his birthday and his life.
Puja is about the cultivation and expansion of positive emotions including shraddha (faith-confidence). It is a practice which helps us crawl in behind the limited, habitual, fixed self and for a time experience ourselves as much more expanded and limitless.
Sangharakshita describes shraddha as a lifting up of the heart to something higher, touching something higher, experiencing, even if only for a moment, something higher. When we do this with one another it deepens the development of true community so that Sangha can indeed become a real and abiding refuge.
