New Year's Retreat (online) 28 Dec-1 Jan

By maitripushpa on Sun, 27 Nov, 2022 - 09:23

This Being, That Becomes

This being, that becomes
From the arising of this, that arises.
This not being, that does not become
From the cessation of this, that ceases…
Nidanasamyutta

Reflect on the end of one year and open to the new. These words from the Buddha provide us with a potent and pithy statement of this transition – and of a central Buddhist truth of dependent arising.

Spend this valuable time of ceasing and arising on retreat with Bodhilila and the...

BREAK OUT : Beginners meditation and Buddhism course.

By Sthiramitra on Thu, 17 Mar, 2022 - 15:26

Frome sangha are delighted to invite you to our first face to face course on Buddhism and meditation for two years.

Your mind has vast potential for freedom and happiness. Buddhism calls this Awakening. And it offers a path of training to achieve it.

But this potential can feel far from our everyday experience. Our minds are often troubled by restlessness, anger and confusion.

This has always been the human condition. For 2,500 years Buddhism has offered a path to help people just like you to...

The Buddha lived all of two and a half thousand years ago. However, the writings of the Pali Canon offer us a window onto his words and his personality. Join us for study of these earliest Buddhist scriptures, exploring what message they might have for us in these unprecedented and uncertain times. We will start each session with a brief period of Pali chanting and meditation before we read and reflect on a sutta. Join us for an exploration of...

Chester Quaker Meeting House Closed to Public

By prashrabdhi on Fri, 6 Nov, 2020 - 16:16

Sadly, the Chester Quaker Meeting House has closed its doors to the public. We have had to remove our equipment. We send thanks and well wishing to the staff who have been so kind and helpful over the last 6 years. They have been made redundant.

Manny is storing our equipment until we find a new physical meeting place. In the meantime, we are meeting on Zoom every Wednesday evening. All welcome.

The Importance of Sangha in India

By Liz_Bassett on Thu, 4 Jun, 2020 - 15:13

The world is in lockdown. In many ways the world is on fire. In this compelling talk, Subhuti focusses on the suffering of thousands of people in India, and rejoices in the Order members and mitras who are bringing food and the Dharma to them. He urges us all to play our part in “bringing something out of the fire”. Subhuti emphasises how our Sangha is making a difference in society, and reminds us that the creation of true Sangha is...

FutureDharma Fund and India Dhamma Trust are launching Triratna’s Thrive Online Appeal, and we need you to join us.

Our world is in lockdown. COVID-19 is changing everything: nobody knows what our world will look like in a year’s time. For some, the challenge of lockdown is overwhelming, causing a tragic surge in depression, addictions, and domestic violence.

This distanced, suffering world needs the Three Jewels more than ever.

The problem is that our centres are closed. The core of what Triratna has offered the...
