Tip No. 5: Getting the most out of your spaces

From Triratna Resources on Fri, 13 Jul, 2012 - 23:45

Tip No.3: Involving the Sangha

From Triratna Resources on Wed, 27 Jun, 2012 - 00:04

For today’s tip I wanted to talk about the why of The Buddhist Centre Online with regard to local Centres. We’ve already had some really enthusiastic sign-ups for the space, which is great for us as we view this as a very long-term project indeed! We’re just at the start of what we hope will be quite a shift in the way all of us see our collective work in spreading the Dharma around the world and serving...
