Online Weekend Retreat: To Boldly Go...

From West London Buddhist Centre on Sat, 29 May, 2021 - 11:36

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

In the Footsteps of the Buddha - Seven New Talks by Nagasiddhi

From Free Buddhist Audio on Fri, 28 May, 2021 - 22:04

As a launch series for Free Buddhist Audio on YouTube, a wonderful new set of talks given by Nagasiddhi. We are taken through seven key stages of the Buddha’s mythic quest, from his unsure setting out, through his wrong turnings, his breakthroughs and his decision to share what he had learned with others.

Trustee gatherings with the ECA Safeguarding team

From Triratna Safeguarding on Thu, 27 May, 2021 - 13:56

Would your centre council/trustees welcome a chance to meet the ECA’s Safeguarding team on Zoom sometime?

Amaladipa and I recently spent two hours on Zoom with the trustees of one Triratna charity. It was an informal opportunity for them to ask questions about Safeguarding and their responsibilities and they afterwards said how very helpful it had been. We enjoyed it too.

If you’d like to discuss this, or just suggest dates, email us at safeguarding [at] triratna.community.

We’re available from September...

Dear Triratna Safeguarding friends,

Want to get together with other Triratna Safeguarding officers for mutual support?

When we see how this one goes we’ll programme further meetings at various times and on various days of the week, to suit different time zones and working patterns.

I’m very happy to let you know that ten public ordinations took place at Taraloka on the afternoon of Sunday 23rd May.
