Suvajra, Vimaladasa and Maitripa have asked Chintamani to make a painting of Bhante’s vision in the cave. They need 4000 pounds and need your help in raising that money. Do you want to contribute 25, 50 or 250 pounds? Do you want to share this project with your friends in the order and movement? That would be fantastic!

'Teachers of Enlightenment' and going for refuge as part of a global sangha - a conversation with Vajratara

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 24 May, 2023 - 11:37

Listen to this episode +much more!

In its spread between India and what could broadly be called the West, the Triratna Buddhist movement and order is rather unique in contemporary convert Buddhism. 

In this episode, Dhammamegha is in conversation with Vajratara about...

Creative Mind — The Buddhist Way to What is Real
How our views and stories lock us down or free us

This summer we’ll be exploring how the views we hold and the stories we tell ourselves can either keep us locked in to painful habits, or free us from our suffering.

The Buddha described the philosophical and religious positions of his day as a ‘thicket of views,’ and described Nirvana or Enlightenment as being beyond views. This means that true freedom is a...

“Back in 2016, Munisha saw the need for Triratna Centres to comply with legislation around the protection from harm of children and adults. Ably helped by Amaladipa (bringing considerable expertise from a career in the probation service) they pioneered the support for...
