Order Harmony Online - Forum short talks now available

From Order Connection on Wed, 27 Mar, 2024 - 11:57

Dear friends in the Order,

On 16th March we held a Forum, in two time zones, to further explore Order Harmony Online.  

We asked six speakers to address the topic ‘How do we practice harmony in the Triratna Buddhist Order?’, and then left time for participants to discuss the topic in smaller groups.

The videos are now available to view on the Order website, along with a video of Vajrapriya introducing the forum.  

Many thanks to all the Order members who took the time to come...
