The Buddhist CentreThe Travellers From Orissa - Maitreyabandhucountdown to #buddhaday!
For our Triratna international Buddha Day celebration, Maitreyabandhu reads us a poem from his second Bloodaxe collection called Yarn: https://www.bloodaxebooks.com/ecs/product/yarn-292
According to tradition, two travellers met the Buddha just after his enlightenment and became his first disciples, Tapussa and Bhallika. They disappear from literature after that point, and the Travellers from Orissa is a long dramatic monologue, written by Maitreyabandhu, imagining their story.
Make yourself a hot drink and sit comfortably, or perhaps in meditation before your shrine, and spend 20 minutes listening to Maitreyabandhu spinning this yarn…
