Yes We Are a Buddhist Order

From Shabda Articles on Tue, 7 Nov, 2017 - 11:14

Open to all. (I think it would have been more appropriate for this discussion to take place within the Order, but as Aparimana made his article open to all I feel I have no alternative but to make mine open to all as well, so that anyone outside of the Order who has read Aparimana’s article can also read mine.) If you’d like a pdf of this article to share with others, write to me at jewelqualities [at]...

National Convention for Indian Youth - North India

From Community Highlights on Sun, 5 Nov, 2017 - 09:16

October this year saw the first North Indian National Youth Convention (of NNBY).  375 young people came to a retreat in Syna, UP.  Many of them were from areas without many Buddhists and were experiencing Triratna for the first time.  They were not necessarily from Buddhist families - there were some Muslims and some who had heard of Dr Ambedkar, but were new to Buddhism.  It was an immensely positive and inspiring event.  For some it was life...
