Chair's Letter – June 2024

By Nagapriya on Mon, 1 Jul, 2024 - 08:00

This month’s letter is written by Nagapriya. Nagapriya first met Triratna in Leeds, England in 1988 whilst he was studying for a degree in philosophy.

By Candradasa on Fri, 25 Oct, 2019 - 05:20

Immediately I said yes, and then I thought, ‘Oh, wow, it’s Venezuela… it’s almost like war!’ I didn’t know what kind of adventure it was going to be…

Jnanadakini’s Annals

In 1978 I was studying Sociology at the University, finding my individuality with leftists and...
