242: Buddhist Voices - Saddhajoti On Co-Creating Chintamani Retreat Centre in Mexico

Viriyalila in conversation with the wonderful Saddhajoti, whose vision of a Buddhist retreat centre rising out of barren sugar cane plantation land has been fully realized here at Chintamani, near Cuernavaca in Mexico. It's a truly extraordinary achievement, and the great beauty and elegance of the place has been hugely enjoyed by all lucky enough o be attending the Triratna Buddhist Order's 2015 Pan-American Convention. We hear how Chintamani - named after the mythical wish-fulfilling jewel which is a symbol for the Dharma offered for all beings - came into existence; and also how it forms part of a growing network of Triratna Buddhist Centres in Mexico and, more importantly, supports the community to go deeper into practice together.For more: thebuddhistcentre.com/tags/pan-american-2015#Mexico #retreat #Buddhist #Buddhism #Budismo #Budista #Cuernavaca #community #Dharma
