Key Facts
- ◆ Closely linked to the Aryatara community in Purley and the Khadiravani community in Streatham.
- ◆ Sangharakshita gave his friendship poetry reading here on 26 January 1989 and again in February 1990.
- ◆ A 'revolution' in 1988 saw chair Padmaraja and his associate Satyadeva leave the Order — this caused great concern within the wider sangha.
“On Thursday 26 January, Kulananda and I drove down to Croydon and Purley. Here we spent six days, our time being mainly divided between the Croydon Buddhist Centre and Aryatara.”
