  76.    <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-item even&quot; property=&quot;content:encoded&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s a great conversation between Jnanavaca and Tejasvini about the creation of a visionary new project in Cambridge, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;UK&lt;/span&gt;. Part of Suvana Cohousing&amp;#8217;s vision is to create a multi-generational community, and also to provide some housing for Triratna retirees. For example, people who have lived many years in Buddhist communities but may need to have their own living space in retirement. And also younger people who struggle to find secure housing.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For anyone interested in this brilliant initiative - perhaps replicable in your own local context - now is a very good time to &lt;a href=&quot;https://suvana.org/cocreators&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;join Suvana Cohousing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; as a co-creator (only £20 per household per year). As a co-creator you can have an influence on the project, and get to know the other co-creators. Who knows? You may be living with them in future!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suvana Cohousing are looking especially for people interested in buying a house or apartment in the new community. Many of those involved would like to live independently but as part of a Buddhist community. This model may appeal to a lot of other sangha members too, wherever they are in the&amp;nbsp;world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The exciting latest news is that Suvana Cohousing may have a site they can proceed with (a new build, not far from Cambridge city), which has a building timescale currently estimated to be four&amp;nbsp;years. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is cohousing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  77. Cohousing communities are intentional communities, created and run by their residents. Each household has a self-contained, private home as well as shared community space. Residents come together to manage their community, share activities, and regularly eat&amp;nbsp;together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suvana Cohousing vision&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  78. We would like to live together ethically in a sustainable community of independence, beauty and creativity, caring for each other and sharing our lives and resources. Our community will be guided by Buddhist values. We plan to be open to anyone who shares the principles laid out in this vision statement, whether labelling themselves Buddhist or&amp;nbsp;not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Value-based&amp;nbsp;community&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wider&amp;nbsp;neighbourhood&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;

His legacy serves as a reminder that collectively, through our individual actions, we possess the ability to shape the world for generations to&amp;nbsp;come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We extend our deepest gratitude to Janaka for his kindness and vision. His gift will make a truly profound difference in the lives of those we serve in our&amp;nbsp;charities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Call to Reflect and Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  93. Janaka&amp;#8217;s inspiring example invites us to consider the lasting impact we can leave on the world. The actions and decisions we make in the present can benefit others far beyond our own lifetime – and including Triratna charities in your Will is a beautiful way to ensure just&amp;nbsp;that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please consider the power you have to positively transform lives and leave a gift in your Will.

  95. Janaka was ordained in 1993 by Suvajra. He was 81 years old when he died in July 2022. He first came along to the London Buddhist Centre at the end of the 1970s and was very active in the movement since that time. In his more than forty years with Triratna, he lived, mostly in communities, in London, Oxford, Glasgow, Dhanakosa, Cambridge and, for the last 15 years of his life, in Bristol where he became a much loved and appreciated Sangha member. He also had a close connection with India, working for many years for Karuna, and visiting India on a number of&amp;nbsp;occasions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Janaka’s sadhana was Avalokitesvara and he very much exemplified compassion in his&amp;nbsp;life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-name-field-group-image field-type-image field-label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-item even&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://thebuddhistcentre.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/users/633/groups/images/legacy_email_header_web.jpg?itok=jawR3q71&quot; width=&quot;124&quot; height=&quot;124&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://thebuddhistcentre.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/users/633/groups/images/janaka_painting.jpg?itok=jbCm-YEc&quot; width=&quot;124&quot; height=&quot;124&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Tags:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/tags/legacies&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;legacies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/abhayaratna-trust&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;Abhayaratna Trust&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/karuna-trust&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;karuna trust&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/vajraloka&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;vajraloka&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/dana&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;dana&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/generosity&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;generosity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

I have been drawing beings from indian mythology, like Raksanas and Yaksas, but also skeleton armies, dinosaurs, dragons (as you can see from the attached sketches) but I need your help completing the&amp;nbsp;army! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m holding a competition for children to design a being for Mara&amp;#8217;s army. The being can be purely from the depths of your imagination or you can draw inspiration from mythology or books and so on.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are two age categories: a 4-11 category and&amp;nbsp;12-17.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can use whatever medium you wish to make the design: pencil, pen, paint, charcoal, sculpture&amp;#8230; And I will draw your design into the&amp;nbsp;animation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will choose my favourite design from each category, and put it in my ‘Legend of the Buddha’ animation, which will be released on Wesak Day, 23rd May. I will also post other designs on social&amp;nbsp;media.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;spamspan&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;u&quot;&gt;Aryajit&lt;/span&gt; [at] &lt;span class=&quot;d&quot;&gt;addmotion.uk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;h&quot;&gt; (subject: Scary%20Monsters) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;t&quot;&gt; (Please submit your designs by email)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;e&quot;&gt;&lt;!--rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The deadline for the competition is the 30th of&amp;nbsp;April. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have fun - and let me know if you have any&amp;nbsp;questions!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aryajit&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can see Aryajit&amp;#8217;s work on our new &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://thebuddhistcentre.com/buddhism&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;‘Discover Buddhism’ pages&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (requires login and activation of the new&amp;nbsp;site)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJlu0AXm6KepfGgCNzW1bdNGUpim_2qc1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Watch Aryajit&amp;#8217;s ‘Guide to the Buddhist Path’ animations on&amp;nbsp;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-name-field-group-image field-type-image field-label-hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-item even&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://thebuddhistcentre.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/users/14/groups/images/raksana_crop.jpg?itok=Uthj80AB&quot; width=&quot;124&quot; height=&quot;124&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Raksana (crop)&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://thebuddhistcentre.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/users/14/groups/images/yaksha.jpg?itok=1fv9qiB6&quot; width=&quot;124&quot; height=&quot;124&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Yaksha (crop)&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-item even&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://thebuddhistcentre.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/users/14/groups/images/raksana_full.jpg?itok=htZvrbYH&quot; width=&quot;124&quot; height=&quot;124&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Raksana (full)&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;&lt;img typeof=&quot;foaf:Image&quot; src=&quot;https://thebuddhistcentre.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_thumbnail/public/users/14/groups/images/yaksha_full.jpg?itok=nf4gMTbm&quot; width=&quot;124&quot; height=&quot;124&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Yaksha (full)&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-label&quot;&gt;Tags:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/tags/animation&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;Animation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/competition&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;competition&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/mara&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;Mara&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/enlightenment&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;enlightenment&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/buddhas-life-story&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;Buddha&amp;#039;s life story&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/drawing&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;drawing&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/art&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;Art&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/tags/triratna-arts&quot; typeof=&quot;skos:Concept&quot; property=&quot;rdfs:label skos:prefLabel&quot; datatype=&quot;&quot;&gt;Triratna Arts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
