There’s a lot of talented people in Triratna, among them Martin Vallis. A very talented photographer who visited a few weeks ago. We had a lovely chat about his Triratna experience back in London. He also gifted us these two great books! Thank you Martin!

At the beginning of this year, a couple from Sydney, Maree and Mark, attended our meditation class. The main reason for their visit to Japan was for Mark to receive treatment after being diagnosed with MND. They shared with me how much meditation had helped them both to cope with the challenges of this horrible illness.

It was deeply moving and inspiring to see the immense love and support they had for each other, a love that seemed stronger than anything else.

Maree and I have kept in touch since then, and yesterday I received the very sad news that Mark has passed away.

This is a video that Mark made a few months before he died that Maree shared with me. Very inspiring quest for the spiritual life in the midst of grief and resignation. The search for what really matters in life and the peace that meditation brings to our troubled minds.

Maree is happy to share Mark’s video with the group.

It was lovely to have Joplin visiting us a few weeks ago. A talented jazz pianist from London. He brought two books as donation for the little Triratna Tokyo library that we have. Always grateful and inspiring to have people from other sanghas wanting to connect in Tokyo.

I spent two months this summer in the UK deepening my practice in Triratna. This trip was possible thanks to the dāna of hundreds of generous people in our sangha.
I want to say thank you to all involved in this beautiful project that is Triratna Tokyo. All who donate, connect, open their doors, follow us, visit us or just think of us.
There is a little seed of Triratna in Tokyo that is showing sprouts.

Celebrating Bhante Sangharaksh*ta’s 100th birthday at Adhisthana!

26/05/2025

Yesterday, a member of our sangha, Debra from the Brighton sangha and I went to Shoinji, Hakuin’s temple in Hara.
Hakuin is not well known even in Japan so I wrote a letter to the Abbot of Shoinji telling him that Hakuin is in our Refuge Tree and we study his teachings in Triratna. He was very happy to know and we made good connection with him. He showed us around, served us tea and sweets, told us stories about Hakuin, the temple and his own experience as the 18th Abbot after Hakuin (who was the 5th Abbot). He even sat in meditation with us before he gave us his blessings.
I promised him to come back to see him after my visit to the UK t ok which he replied: “Come back safely”.
I will save Emmyo san’s stories of Hakuin for my trip to the UK.
For now, a very humble connection has been made in the name of Bhante Sangharaksh*ta.

We are delighted to announce another very generous visit from a Mitra from the Brighton Sangha Debra Charlton, on Saturday, May 24th.

She supports classes and has a weekly prostration practice to Vajrassatva with a friend.
She has travelled a lot mainly in Asia Thailand / India and has spent a lot of time with the Indian Sangha fundraising for a women dharma centre in Lonavla.
She has spent time in Bodgaya , Sri Lanka , with Triratna.

If you are around in Tokyo that day, please drop by!

Hi everyone. Can you spare spare a few $$ to see Lily to the UK? We have nearly raised the funds!! Just a little bit to go!

A small act of generosity can help connect sanghas across continents. Let’s bring Japan and the UK closer together through Lily’s journey

Dear friends,

After your kind support for Susana’s journey from Tokyo to the UK, I’m now reaching out about Lily — another committed Dharma practitioner who also hopes to travel to the UK this summer for retreats and sangha connection!

Lily lives in Atami near Tokyo and has been quietly and faithfully practicing with Triratna since 2021, after meeting me through Susana. Although she’s deeply moved by Triratna’s expression of the Dharma, she’s had very little direct contact with the wider sangha.

Can you help her take this precious next step?
I have launched a fundraiser. Here’s the fundraising page (link in bio)

Every donation helps. 🙏
