My story

Hello from Saraha, and thanks for visiting my fundraising page - I'm raising funds for a new and very special painting of the FWBO's Refuge Tree, to be painted by my friend Chintamani.

For those interested, the Refuge Tree of the FWBO was created by Urgyen Sangharakshita and shows the primary sources of inspiration we draw upon in the Western Buddhist Order and FWBO. 

Altogether there are 44 figures on the Tree, in the following arrangement  -

Archetypal Buddhas - Vajrasattva
  Amitabha, Ratnasambhava, Vairochana, Amoghasiddhi, Akshobhya

Teachers of the Past –
From India: Nagarjuna  Asanga, Vasubandhu, Shantideva, Buddhaghosa
From Tibert: Milarepa   Atisha, Padmasambhava, Tsong Khapa
From China: Huey Nung, Chih I, Hsuan Tsang
From Japan: Hakuin, Kukai, Dogen, Shinran

The Sutra-Treasure - All the scriptures of  all the schools of Buddhism  

The Bodhisattvas - Manjusri, Vajrapani, Avalokitesvara, Aryatara, Kshitigarbha
The Buddhas of the Three Times - SHAKYAMUNI, Dipankara, Maitreya 
The Disciples of the Buddha - Maudgalyayana, Ananda, Sariputra, Dhammadinna, Kasyapa

Sangharakshita and his Teachers - Dudjom Rimpoche, Jamyang Khyentse Rimpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rimpoche, Chetul Sangye Dorje, Kachu Rimpoche, Dhardo Rimpoche, Yogi Chen, Urgyen Sangharakshita, Ven. Jagdish Kashyap
