The Ulex Project: An Update

By Sadayasihi on Mon, 30 Jul, 2018 - 14:46

The building, a renovated farmhouse, can accommodate about 15 to 16 people as well as 2 to 4 facilitators.

The Spiritual Community Beyond Borders

As the Mainland Europe Young Buddhist Convention in Valencia draws nearer, three ‘Young Buddhists’ from Valencia share a bit about their inspiration to practice the Dharma and how they have benefitted.

5 Years of The Buddhist Centre Online: #1 New Online Spaces and Physical Places

Since The Buddhist Centre officially launched 5 years ago many web spaces have sprung into being which allow greater community building across Triratna as...
