  • A Subud Bibliography
    A Subud Bibliography By Matthew Clark COPYRIGHT 2003, 2004, 2005 July 15, 2005 version Welcome Brothers, Sisters, Booklovers and Fellow Bibliophiles to “A Subud Bibliography”, my labor of love (or rampant purification if you ask my wife)--In either case, the first step in my dream to one day see a comprehensive library or literary collection of Subud and Subud-related writings accessible to members and scholars everywhere. I have been an avid reader and book-collector since childhood. (My mother drove a bookmobile and used to bring home armloads of discarded books for us to read). When my father passed away in 1995, I was fortunate to inherit part of his esoteric book collection…and his great love of Subud books. That’s when the seed was planted…the idea of gathering under one roof everything written about Bapak and Subud and by Subud members. It has grown slowly since then until, with the advent of the Internet, it became possible to begin systematically collecting much of what has been written about Subud and by its members. This is certainly a work in process, far from finished; in fact, never to be finished as long as Subud continues. It is more than a list…it is a living history of Subud, beginning with Rofe’s first article in October 1951 in an obscure journal (discovered by divine inspiration in a sub-basement of the New York Public Library) and continuing through all the great (and some not-so-great) Subud-related books and articles of the past half century.

    ® No. 84 NovemSber 2018U www.suBbudvoiceU.net • emaDil: [email protected] • Editor: Harris Smart ILAINA LENNARD 1933-2018 Ilaina Lennard, founder of Subud Voice, died suddenly, just after midnight on Monday October 15. She was still working for Subud Voice, writing a new book, and in the process of planning to move into Wisma Mulia. Harris Smart, the current editor of Subud Voice, writes… Dear Ilaina, your passing leaves a very big hole in my life. You have been such a big part of my life for so many years from the time when I first got to know you through contributing articles to Subud Voice. Then came a visit to England where I was able to stay with you and your husband, Lawrence, in Bracknell. This was a wonderful time, the time of Anugraha. I will never forget the hospitality of your comfort - able house and the excellent walks you took me on, including that park where there were earth - works said to go back to Roman times or even be - yond. It was called Caesar’s Camp, if I remember correctly. Ilaina with Romina Vianden-Prudent at the Subud Britain Congress in 2017. Then there came a time when our roles were re - versed, and I became the editor and you were the In Subud Voice, she contributor and proof-reader. How marvellous that founded an institution... you, the founder, were able to stay involved in the magazine, working on Subud Voice right up until the end. I always tried to honour you as the founder of this magazine and please forgive me for any oc - casions on which I was less than perfect.

  • Subud Resolutions Freiburg, Germany 2018
    Page 1 of 8 SUMMARY OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE 2018 SUBUD INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS IN FREIBURG, GERMANY The following proposals and resolutions were adopted at the 2018 Subud International Congress and apply to all Subud groups and members. Please see the Minutes of the Fifteenth Subud World Congress held in Freiburg, Germany in 2018 for further explanations and information. This is an informal summary of the proposals and resolutions adopted in Freiburg and reported in that document. The Following Proposals on Organization Were Adopted (1.) The Book on Organization or “White Book” was presented to the delegates. Countries felt that it was important to maintain the position that countries need to work within the laws of their own country. It was further suggested that the White Book should be accepted as a working document and that all positions of members involved in the organization such as Kejiwaan Councillors should be part of the document. Although the document was presented in both English and Spanish, it was recommended that it be in other languages as well (this is in process at this time). PROPOSAL The delegates accept the guidelines as a working draft. The delegates request that WSA establish a working group to expand and reorganize the White Book to include important quotes from Bapak’s talks as advice to committees. This work is to be carried out over the next 4 to 8 years. Further, the “sources” should be placed within the context of the book rather than at the end. Vote: Britain proposed, Austria seconded 37-0-0 (2.) Membership Countries Following Italy’s proposal to the Puebla Congress, several countries reviewed the requirements for membership in WSA.

Subud is not a new religion, or a sect of any religion, nor is it a teaching. Subud is a symbol of the possibility for man to follow the right way of living. Susila denotes those qualities which give rise to character, conduct and actions which are truly human, and in accordance with the will of God. Budhi indicates that in all creatures, including man, there is divine power that works within him as well as outside him. Dharma signifies sincerity, surrender and submission to the Will of Almighty God.
