In the last issue of the Journal we learned from the Throssel news of the deaths of three of the UK’s long-time lay sangha within just nine weeks: Brenda Birchenhough, Vajira Bailey and Pat Oldham. Our deepest sympathies go to all who were close to them.

These moving remembrances of the lives and practice of these three trainees reveal some of the many ways training is unfolding in individual lives across the Order. Some of our sangha, like Vajira, have been practicing since the earliest days when Rev. Master Jiyu founded the Order, along with others who are newly engaging with our tradition today. There are also trainees sustaining practice alone in many countries across the world where the Order has no official presence, with some keeping in touch online.
