European Buddhist Union + Buddhist Teachers in Europe 2022

By Munisha on Thu, 10 Nov, 2022 - 12:49

The last weekend of September saw the annual 3-day meeting of the European Buddhist Union (EBU), followed by the meeting of Buddhist Teachers in Europe. I attended as Triratna’s Liaison officer it was a pleasure to have my old friend Vassika there for both meetings, from Triratna Paris.

These meetings took place at the Fo Guang Shan temple just outside Paris, where we were hosted with great generosity by the community of nuns from Taiwan.

Around 30 people attended the EBU...

    Aryanita is the Chair of the Paris Buddhist Centre - a role she took on only one year after ordination. Having come from a business background, assisting in the formulation of organisational strategy and vision, a key learning for her has been the realisation that efficiency isn't the most important thing in the building of sangha, but rather helping people to develop.

In this short film Aryanita, the current Chair, and Vassika, the former Chair, give us an update on their search for a new home for the Paris Buddhist Centre.

“Amrutdeep, a senior Indian Order member and Public Preceptor, recently completed a successful tour of six Triratna Centres in the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Germany. Coinciding with Buddhist Action Month, his visit fitted the Month’s overarching social action theme very well.

New publications in French

By lokabandhu on Fri, 7 Dec, 2012 - 06:35Ujumani writes from Triratna’s Paris centre with news of the publication of their third book: Un guide sur la voie bouddhique (1ère partie) – i.e. A Guide to the Buddhist Path (Vol. 1).

The Paris Centre has published these books itself as it has not yet been possible to find a mainstream publisher for Sangharakshita’s works in France. Contrary to the situation in Anglophone countries, Sangharakshita is little known in France and the Triratna Buddhist...
