Today we are pleased to be publishing a new book titled The Subtle Art of Caring: A Guide to Sustaining Compassion.

Out now: ‘Starting on the Buddhist Path’

Wed, 20 Sep, 2023 - 10:30

We’re delighted to announce the release of Starting on the Buddhist Path by Sagaraghosa Rosemary Tennison. Sagaraghosa describes it as the book she wished she’d had when she was beginning her exploration of Buddhism.

The Buddha said that you can’t develop wise perspective and freedom through ideas alone – you need to test the truth in your own experience. Drawing on many years of experience leading classes, courses and retreats, Sagaraghosa has created an engaging and practical guide to transforming your life through Buddhist...

Celebrating friendship with discounted books

Wed, 26 Jul, 2023 - 15:00

Our teacher, Sangharakshita, described the order he founded as ‘a network of friendships’, and I’ve come back from the retreat with a renewed sense of gratitude for the many and varied friendships in my life, particularly my friendships with other ‘Dharma farers’. A focus on this type of friendship, what Sangharakshita called ‘spiritual friendship’, is one of the six distinctive emphases that Sangharakshita gave the Triratna Buddhist Community. 

Sangharakshita didn’t emphasise the importance of friendship just because of his own personal inclination....
