Karmavajra, an Indian Order Member working in Triratna’s Order Office in Pune, writes with news of the unexpected death of Dhammachari Dhammaratna. He says -
“We regret to inform you that Dh. Dhammaratna died suddenly at his residence at Ulhasnagar (near Mumbai) at 4.00 am on the morning of Thursday February 3rd.
“Dhammaratna was ordained in 1987 and his Public and Private Preceptor was Kamalashila. He was 71 years old. The funeral and cremation were held on the same day.
“Yours in the Sangha, Karmavajra (Maitrijal - Indian Order Office)”.
Triratna Buddhist Community
The Triratna Buddhist Community - formerly known as the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) - was founded in 1967 by Sangharakshita. It is now an international movement with activities in more than 20 countries, including India. The Triratna Buddhist Community is a non-sectarian Buddhist movement which seeks promote the practice of Buddhism in a form appropriate to the modern world.
Triratna means "Three Jewels", specifically the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, which are the central foci of a Buddhist's life and practice. They've long been represented in our logo and we're delighted that our name will now reflect them as well.
