Ashvajit
Welcome to my Web Site
Hello
and welcome. My name is Ashvajit. I was given the name, which means 'The Horse Tamer', or 'Conqueror of the wild horse of distractedness' by
my Buddhist Preceptor, Sangharakshita, in August 1972. I thus became a member
of the Western Buddhist Order, as it was then known. The Movement now known as
the Triratna Buddhist Order and Triratna Buddhist Community (Triratna Bauddha
Mahasangha in India) was founded by Sangharakshita in 1968.
You
will find on this Site pages about Buddhism, about the Buddhist Order to which
I belong and the Buddhist Movement that has grown up around it; about my
Buddhist Teacher, Sangharakshita; about my friends in the Order and the
Movement; about my current ideas and activities; about some of the work that I
have done and that I intend yet to do. I hope that what you see here will be
inspiring. Maybe it will even awaken in you some hankering for the spiritual
life and an aspiration to engage in compassionate activity. The world is a big place, with many things going on it that cause a lot of
suffering. It needs many people with wisdom and compassion working in it. Are
you one of those people who wants to work in this way?
