friendship as a path to liberation
Order Member & Mitra Day Retreat
with Paramartha

 

Saturday 28th June, 10.30am – 4.00pm

For all Order Members and Mitras

Join us for a special day retreat exploring Spiritual Friendship, led by guest Order Member Paramartha.

This day will centre around reflections on Sangharakshita’s essay The Good Friend, the False Friend, and the Spiritual Friend. Paramartha, one of Sangharakshita’s closest friends, lived alongside him for many years, including during his later years at Adhisthana. He brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to the theme, grounded in both lived experience and long-standing Dharma practice.

Now living nearby, Paramartha continues to support the teaching community at Adhisthana and throughout the Triratna movement. This is a valuable opportunity to reflect on the depth and importance of kalyana mitrata within the Dharma life with one of Sangharakshita’s closest friends.
