The Six Distinctive Emphases of the Triratna Buddhist Community

From Exeter Triratna Group on Thu, 6 Apr, 2017 - 19:17

Our weekly meeting yesterday took place just the day before a rather special event in the Triratna Buddhist Community’s existence: exactly 50 years ago, on the 6 April 1967 Urgyen Sangharakshita dedicated the Triratna Meditation and Shrine room (yes it was called Triratna!) in a basement below a shop in Covent Garden. The few few decades of its existence though we were known as ‘The Friends of the Western Buddhist Order’.

So many lives have been transformed by the Buddhist movement that grew from...

Happy 50th Birthday Triratna!

From Dublin Buddhist Centre on Thu, 6 Apr, 2017 - 13:12

This week is the 50th anniversary of the founding of our community, the Triratna Buddhist Community!

On the evening of April 6th, 1967, around 24 people gathered in a room in London where they recited a ceremony specially written by Sangharakshita to inaugurate this new Buddhist movement.

Now, all these years later, the Triratna Buddhist Community has grown into a worldwide community of men and women inspired by the Buddha-Dharma, including our own Sangha here in Dublin.

On Sunday 9th April, 10am - 5pm, we’ll be...
