50 Years, 50 Voices - The Trailer!

From Buddhist Voices on Sun, 8 Apr, 2018 - 17:55

Our beautiful new online project to document 50 years of people’s commitment and practice within the Triratna Buddhist Order around the world.

The Triratna Buddhist Order turns 50 on the 7th of April 2018. The Dharma is alive amongst our 2,000+ Order Members across the globe, in many forms.

Triratna is founded on a radically traditional vision – what does that mean in practice? What does that really look like, feel like, ‘taste like’? This fiftieth birthday is an ideal time to bring together a...

Dear Coogee Meditator

Most importantly:

5 Years Of The Buddhist Centre Online: #3 Buddhist Voices Around The World

From Buddhist Centre Features on Wed, 28 Mar, 2018 - 15:48

“In essence, a spiritual community is a free association of individuals. You can no more have a spiritual community without individuals than you can have an omelette without eggs.”

Sangharakshita, What is the Sangha, page 55.

A Sangha, or spiritual community, needs committed individuals practicing the Dharma in the context of their own particular lives in order to exist. The central myth of the Triratna Buddhist Order is the figure of the 1,000 armed Avalokiteshvara: the idea being that...

Aryavacin (Nottingham, UK), Manjusiha (Padmaloka, UK), and Padmashalin (Valencia, Spain), have done just that.

The location? Merida, Venezuela.

The three friends landed last week and immediately began leading a valuable retreat programme.

The situation is tough in Merida. Vajranatha is the only Order member in the sangha, in fact in the whole of Venezuela. He’s been working heroically to keep Merida’s thriving sangha going.

Recent economic turmoil in Venezuela has...
