Living out Buddhist values

From Triratna News on Tue, 9 Apr, 2019 - 14:52

Since announcing the project in Triratna News last September, the project to develop Buddhist cohousing in Cambridge, the Suvana Cohousing Project, has continued to gain momentum.

Their vision is to build a new type of community, where 20-30 households create a beautiful place with a mixture of dwelling types all benefiting from shared facilities and minimal impact on the earth’s resources.

Although they have yet to find a development site, the group of Order Members and Mitras who are involved in the Suvana cohousing...

Karuna Contribute to Report about Links between Caste and Poverty

From Triratna News on Mon, 8 Apr, 2019 - 15:54

Karuna has contributed to a new report just launched by a group of NGOs. The report has found that caste and other forms of “discrimination based on work and descent” (DWD) continues to be a barrier to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the UN in 2015. This form of discrimination occurs in at least 20 countries and is often associated with slavery.

Podcast - Vidyadevi on 'The Complete Works of Sangharakshita'

From Buddhist Centre Features on Mon, 8 Apr, 2019 - 13:50

There’s something about coming at it all fresh and trying to see the patterns in it and bring it together in its different ‘baskets’…

In this conversation she talks about the various different people who are involved in making this project happen, its significance, what it’s like working on it now that Sangharakshita has died, and her...

Resignation of Taralila

From Order Connection on Mon, 8 Apr, 2019 - 10:10

Dear Order Members,

It is with considerable sadness and reluctance that I have accepted Taralila’s resignation from Triratna. I first met Taralila in the late 1980s or early 1990s in Wellington - so she has had a very long association with Triratna. I found her a graceful and creative woman, with a strong ethical and spiritual determination.  Adele then traveled to the UK, where she lived in Cambridge working for Windhorse Trading. On her return to New Zealand she lived in the South Island,...

A Wave of Metta Around the Globe:
First Sunday of the month Order Metta 08.00 (local time) 

“If the potential for Buddhahood is within all of us, then the potential for metta certainly is.” ~ Sangharakshita from What is the Dharma? (1998) p. 192

In April our new Sunday morning Order Metta practice rather wonderfully coincides with the anniversary of the Order coming into existence. Sunday the 7th April marks fifty-one years since the first ordinations. Whether collectively or individually,...
