Time Place Teacher Disciple and Topic

The Tibetan tradition holds that at the moment of initiation five things are paramount; time, place, teacher, disciple and the topic or content of the transmission. Who is Urgyen Sangharakshita, what is his connection with the tradition, who were his teachers, and what did he learn from them? What were the augers of time and place, and what does it all mean to us?

This pilgrimage aims to strengthen our awareness and connection with these auspicious five; Time Place Teacher Disciple and Topic, as they constellated in the life of our founder Urgyen Sangharakshita. Pilgrimages are trails of tales. The tales and the trails of this pilgrimage take us into a magical world; the Hidden land in which Sangharakshita unfolded, and the crucible in which our Movement was forged.
