Aryarakshita

Aryarakshita has been practising meditation since the early 2000s, after first stepping through the doors of Manchester Buddhist Centre in 1998. Meeting the three jewels in their late 20s, they felt the strong draw, yet remained in the shadows for some time before finally committing and becoming a Mitra in 2010 and then Ordained in 2021. They worked in team based right livelihoods for a number of years, before moving into cooperative work. Their main inspirations are drawn from their meditation practice, the intimacy with the energetic dimension of being, the mythic context and the liminal space between the seen and unseen.
