Tribute

On Friday 15th October 2021, one of the lava flows of the volcano of La Palma has engulfed the estate (La Palma Magica) where Dhiravamsa had in recent years located what was to become his meditation centre in the Canary Islands. After Dhiravamsa's death, a sanctuary was to be located there, to which everyone could have access and honour the memory of the master. The universe and nature have decided that these plans will not be realised. With all my love, Mettâ and Karunâ, for the owners of the finca Esteban and Liliana and all the inhabitants of La Palma May the universe welcome and protect them.

Next Wednesday 15th September 2021 at 19h (Canary Islands), we will meet through zoom as a tribute to Master Dhiravamsa, 49 days since his passing away last 28th July, to stay connected, together in practice and on the path, as he would have wanted us to do.

Programme (Canarian Time):
19:00h - connection and welcome
19:15h - meditation with the chanting of blessings by the master (recorded on video)
20:00h - playback of a dharma talk by Dhiravamsa (recorded on video)
21:00h - end

With all my love Mettā and with great joy I look forward to connecting with you in a few days. Let us be one with all and send our love to all sentient beings and especially to our beloved master Dhiravamsa.

Let this sharing serve as a final tribute to Dhiravamsa and to honour his wise and loving teachings so that we may continue to extend unlimited Metta for the benefit of his soul, as well as for ourselves, for all beings and for the generous planet Earth that welcomes us in our journey. A big hug to all with infinite Mettâ from, Guillermo Leyva, Janine Jutima and Carmen Casamitjana.

We will celebrate a small intimate ceremony for Dhiravamsa on Saturday morning 07/31/2021 at 8:45h. I explain the ceremony. We start with: Namo Tassa Bhagavato arahato samma sambuddhassa and Buddham saranam gacchami. At 9:20 am the ritual consists of burning pieces of paper with the candle and putting the remains in the bowl of water. During this time we chant: Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi svāha (Go, go, go beyond, beyond the beyond, to the shore of enlightenment). If you want to participate, you can have a flower, a candle, a bowl of water, matches, a piece of paper and a pen. This is the ceremony that Dhiravamsa taught me (Tew Bunnag).

On 28 July 2021, at the age of 86 and after a life dedicated to the dharma and all sentient beings, Ajahn Dhiravamsa took his last breath in full consciousness and in his own words was calm, quiet and clear, ready to let go of all aggregates. Ajahn Dhiravamsa left this plane of existence giving a great example of love and wisdom.

With boundless love and Metta he was accompanied by hundreds of his students, disciples, friends and relatives from all parts of the earth in meditation and in their hearts. May his teachings, understandings and love continue to flow in all our hearts to walk this wonderful path that the Buddha discovered and that Dhiravamsa has shown us and that he himself has lived every second of his life until his death, and thus honour his legacy. May we all attain liberation.
