As part of our year-long celebration we will be including talks and interviews of historical importance as a monthly feature of our Tuesday evening program. The theme of our 40th anniversary celebrations is ‘Aryaloka as a Garden’. Aryaloka as a place and as a community of people, is a living, breathing ecosystem that has evolved and been cultivated by various hands. As envisioned in the White Lotus Sutra, individuals are watered by the rain of the Dharma, and like plants, are nourished and grow together, each in their unique way.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-style:normal;"><span style="text-decoration:none;">We’ll begin the year by exploring our international tradition: the Triratna Buddhist Order and Community. What are our core emphases as a community and how does that relate to Aryaloka and our daily practice as Buddhists? We’ll explore how our founder, Sangharakshita, envisioned the unity of Buddhism and embodied that vision in a thriving, radical new Buddhist movement.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
