Chair's Letter – June 2024

From College of Public Preceptors on Mon, 1 Jul, 2024 - 08:00

This month’s letter is written by Nagapriya. Nagapriya first met Triratna in Leeds, England in 1988 whilst he was studying for a degree in philosophy.

Creating a World We Want to Live In: The Transformative Energy of Buddhist Ethical Life

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Thu, 27 Jun, 2024 - 22:08

This summer we’ll be exploring the creative aspects of Buddhist ethics, drawing on a book by a Triratna Order member, Subhadramati — It’s Not About Being Good: A Practical Guide to Buddhist Ethics (2013). As we make our way within a world context that is challenging in so many ways, Subhdramati’s framing inquiry seems relevant. She describes having become disillusioned, first with her childhood Christianity and later by the advanced physics she pursued at university, as ways to understand why...

Chair's Letter – May 2024

From College of Public Preceptors on Sat, 1 Jun, 2024 - 17:46

Dear Order Members and friends,

Thanks to Purna for his evocative letter last month from Sudarshanaloka, the ‘land of beautiful vision’, in New Zealand; I’m very much looking forward to being there for the first time in a few months. 

A few weeks ago I was at another of our retreat centres: Akashavana, ‘the forest retreat of luminous space’, in Spain. It was an informal visit as I hadn’t been there for many years and wanted to connect with the...
