Uppstart för Nytt center

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Tue, 24 Apr, 2012 - 13:29Uppstartskväll för Nytt center
Måndagen den 16 april 2012 träffades en del av sanghan på Sanghakvällen för att brainstorma runt ett Nytt center. Energi, entusiasm och kreativa tankar kännetecknade mötet. Att växa in i ett Nytt center ger också oss som sangha och medlemmar i sanghan möjlighet att växa i processen.

The Triratna Story by Vajragupta

The Triratna Story by Vajragupta

From Community Highlights on Mon, 23 Apr, 2012 - 21:43“This is a courageous and important book. Written by a serious adherent, and commissioned by the Triratna Community itself, it defies all expectations to tell the brilliant, troubled, and inspiring history of this unique Western Buddhist movement with a thoroughness and honesty that, frankly, would not have been possible had it been written by an outsider. This is a valuable and instructive text for anyone interested in looking beyond the idealism of the Buddhist teachings to what actually happens when...
