New Triratna text for European Buddhist Union website

From Triratna in the Buddhist World on Sun, 15 May, 2016 - 22:52

After many years of an old site with very out of date details for Triratna, here is the updated text on the member page of the European Buddhist Union’s new website.

Scroll down and find Triratna. One thing you may notice is that every other Buddhist organisation (bar one) has a logo. Not so with Triratna, where every centre or enterprise has its own. The kesa is our one single common visual element worldwide.

Your comments welcome.
