Twenty eight members of the Triratna Buddhist Order gathered from all over the world to discuss a range of current topics. A 5-minute slideshow summary of its proceedings is now available.

Triratna has an interestingly many-layered structure of governance, with each Centre being legally autonomous. As a worldwide whole it’s arguable that Triratna exists solely in the hearts of its participants,...

International Council 2014, Voices No. 8 - Jnanadakini (Latin America & Spain, Order Strand)

By Candradasa on Tue, 19 Aug, 2014 - 21:22
Jnanadakini from Mexico joins us as our last Buddhist voice from the 2014 Triratna International Council. As the great assembly draws to a close she reflects with us on a strong week and the challenges in taking its inspiration back to a more isolated part of our community. Having moved from some scepticism about the value of the meeting to out and out enthusiasm, Jnanadakini is a great advocate of the spiritual practice involved in international gatherings!

By Candradasa on Tue, 12 Aug, 2014 - 22:00We’re joined on the sofa this evening (after slow rural internet delays!) by a great team from the Latin America and Spanish area of the Triratna International Council - a grouping based primarily on language rather than geography. They were generous enough to record both this excellent summary of the day and an overview of the event in Spanish.
