Windhorse Publications turns 50

From Windhorse Publications on Thu, 25 Jan, 2024 - 12:30

At first, its newsletters and journals were published under the name Friends of the Western Buddhist Order. It then became Windhorse Press in the early 1970s when it began publishing full length books, starting with The Essence...

From Triratna Tokyo on Fri, 17 Feb, 2023 - 09:45

Saturday 18th February 2023, 11:30am, we celebrated Susana Kumagai’s Mitra Ceremony, Tokyo.

Becoming a Mitra in Triratna is making a commitment to the Buddhist Path. 

Commitment, because in life, what we get out of it depends on what we put in. Particularly in the spiritual life.

You will probably have noticed this in your meditation practice, to take just one example. If we sit down to meditate without fully committing ourselves to the practice, we are likely to drift and daydream. But when we sit down...
