On Sunday 30th November the Centre celebrated 5 new Mitras making their committment to the Buddhist path and Triratna. Padmabodhini, who led the rejoicing in the merits of the group, writes…
“Raquel, Marianne, Karl, Debbie and Adam have been involved with Triratna for a couple of years, having attended different introductory courses. They then came together and completed the Foundation study and continued their active involvement as valued members of the sangha.
During this time, their understanding of the Three Jewels has deepened, which led them to make this commitment as Mitras with Triratna. In the context of a puja, each one took this significant step on their spiritual path by making the tradition offerings of flowers, incense and candles.
It was a joyful day of celebration with the wider sangha, friends and family.
We wish them much happiness on their continuing journey. Sadhu!”
The group themselves write…
“We’d like to send heartfelt thanks to all who supported our Mitra Ceremony, it was so well considered and each of us now feel fully welcomed into the Cardiff Sangha.
The beautiful rejoicings truly moved us and the chance to be in meditation and puja on that day with so many of you was a delight that we will remember for many years to come. May we also take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for your gifts and cards of well wishing.
We look forward to more times together in our Sangha.”
