Una guía acerca de hacerse mitra en la Comunidad Budista Triratna

Sanghadagen 17 november

Alla är varmt välkomna till Sanghadagen, den buddhistiska högtid då vi firar och gläds åt den andliga gemenskapen.

Denna gång är temat “Sanghans pionjärer – då och nu”. Det blir personliga berättelser om hur sanghan vuxit, från Triratnas begynnelse i Sverige på 80-talet fram till idag. Vi kommer också rikta blicken framåt, mot ett ’nytt center’ i Stockholm.
