Ananta interviewed on BronxNet TV
Check out this interview with Ananta on BronxNet TV. He was invited to talk about the benefits of mindfulness in this current time of crisis and isolation. He speaks about how meditation can address some of the underlying causes of our stresses and reactivity. On becoming more intimate with ourselves, we address our own states of mind. This can enable us to help those around us, or at least not contribute further to their worries and anxiety. Watch the video here.

[Sangha Profile] Syma - “Life as Art, Art as Life”
Syma lives in New York’s Lower East Side, and has been a member of the Triratna NY Sangha since 2012. In this generous interview, she shares about her remarkable life, her inspiration and process as an artist, and what Buddhist practice means to her, especially at this stage of her life.

In gratitude for a noble experiment
This month our good friends Padmadharini and Elaine sold and moved out of their home of the last few years in New Jersey. Their home was also known as the Blue Sky Retreat center, and they generously made their space available to our sangha for the last three years to hold several retreats, meetings and gatherings.
