The Triratna Video Library is back celebrating Sangharakshita’s 100th birth anniversary with another freshly edited never-before-seen talk by Bhante from the archive. This month join Sangharakshita in a Buddhafield Festival tent for his talk ‘Entering The Sangha’.

In the summer of 2007, Sangharakshita visited the Triratna project known as ‘Buddhafield’, during which he offered this talk.

Letter from the College of Public Preceptors- July

By college on Mon, 30 Jun, 2025 - 19:22

Dear Order members and friends,

I have been in post as Chair of the Preceptors’ College for eight months and I quite often find myself thinking what I might communicate in my next letter to Order members, Mitras and Friends. I share the writing of these monthly letters with the five Deputy Chairs, and last month it was good to read from Vajratara how the crucial and exciting Tiratanaloka Unlimited project is progressing. We always appreciate hearing back responses so please continue...

Buddhafield has been a home from home to many families for decades; children and families growing year after year from the mossy ground of the Buddhafield. It’s not surprising that people return to our events again every year to reconnect with the land, with each other and with the Buddha’s Dharma.

Dharmabytes: The Present Moment is our Joy

By Centre Team on Mon, 29 Jan, 2024 - 11:00

Dhivan moves through an exploration of joy, in both its mundane and grander manifestations. As he does so, he recalls the Buddha’s realization that joy and happiness arise when our life coalesces around our deepest values, often connected with relaxing in meditation. This is what may lead to Awakening for any and all of us…
