It was a long and beautiful day involving Triratna people from New Zealand to West Coast USA. Below tells the story…<\/p>\n

Remembering a beautifully long day involving Triratna communities from New Zealand to the West Coast of the USA. You can relive the story of the day on this page.<\/p>\n

We offered the day on a dana<\/em> (donation) basis and dedicated all funds to our sangha members in India, who face great hardship as the coronavirus crisis disproportionately impacts their lives. The goal is to raise \u00a3150,000 – and at time of writing we have the first \u00a350,000 donated! Many thanks!<\/p>\n

If you can, donate now and help their work to alleviate terrible suffering and bring hope back to the lives of many Dharma friends.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you from the Buddha Day team \u2013 and from the online community around the world!<\/p>\n

May you be well!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Words in Praise of the Buddha<\/h3>\n
Ratnavyuha and Dhiramuni in conversation<\/h5>\n

Ratnavyuha and Dhiramuni, two friends from Auckland, New Zealand, share their inspiration from some verses in praise of the Buddha, contained within the first chapter of the Vimalakirti Nirdesa. They offer an audio recording of the verses, and a practice suggestion for a reflective writing exercise for you to engage with.<\/p>\n
