Meditation this week and and invitation .....

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Mon, 28 Nov, 2016 - 23:40

Triratna's first online mitra ceremony, broadcast live

From Triratna News on Fri, 25 Nov, 2016 - 11:08

What is an online mitra and how on earth is that possible? In Clear Vision’s latest NewsByte video, Candradasa, director of The Buddhist Centre Online explains and conducts the mitra ceremony, broadcast live over the internet. (9 minutes)

Living in Italy, far from a Triratna centre, Brian Groves discovered Triratna through The Buddhist Centre Online’s virtual meditation classes. His eventual mitra ceremony took place at Brighton Buddhist Centre (UK) and it’s surprisingly moving to see in this video the Facebook comments coming in from viewers...

Meditation helps us find a space in our mind to reflect, see and begin to make the...
