On Dharma Day, July 5 in Cuernavaca, we welcomed two more mitras into the Triratna Community. These amazing people are Priscilla Ruanova and Lety Mancera. We are delighted that they want to deepen their Dharma practice in the context of Triratna.

Soon after his Enlightenment the Buddha rose from where he had been sitting, went to find his former disciples and shared his experience with them. This event, which happened at a place called Sarnath in northern India, might be called the start of the Buddhist religion and it is this that Dharma Day celebrates. On Dharma Day there are often readings from...
By Candradasa on Tue, 3 Jun, 2014 - 17:18La palabra sánscrita ‘mitra’ simplemente significa ‘amigo’. Hacerse mitra es profundizar tu relación de amistad con la Orden Budista Triratna, lo que puede ocurrir cuando tu compromiso con sus ideales, valores y prácticas ha alcanzado un cierto nivel. Un mitra es alguien que ha hecho lo que nosotros llamamos un compromiso ‘provisional’ de practicar el Dharma en el contexto de nuestra comunidad espiritual.

The Triratna Buddhist Community is open to all those who wish to practise Buddhism.
Most people encounter Triratna through a meditation or Buddhism class at a Triratna centre. Everyone who has contact with Triratna is considered a friend. However someone who wants to make a particular connection with our community and see their Buddhist practice in that context can ask to become a ‘Mitra’ (which simply means ‘friend’ in Sanskrit).
By lokabandhu on Thu, 11 Apr, 2013 - 11:34Ratnachuda writes from Triratna’s small but buzzing centre in Brixton Buddhist Centre, South London, where they’ve been celebrating their first Mitra Ceremonies into the wider Triratna Buddhist Community. He says - “Last month saw us here in Brixton celebrating four new mitras, all publicly making their commitment to the Triratna Sangha - plus a traditional ‘reaffirmation ceremony’ by Steve Hughes.
The evening was beautifully led by Amarapuspa, women’s mitra convenor for Triratna’s Brixton and Croydon...
By Viryabodhi on Mon, 26 Nov, 2012 - 05:57On Sunday we had our celebration of Sangha Day, like so many other Triratna centres all over the world. During the day we had a particular focus on the plans and ideas of moving towards a New Buddhist centre. The ‘New centre team’ gave short presentations. Viryabodhi talked about the significance of Sangha Day and the Bodhisattva ideal (including the 4 sangrahavastus). Satyaprabha talked and showed projected images of Sangharakshita Land project (to keep the sangha informed of developments there),...
August 29th we held our first mitra ceremonies. Bettye and Oz both started coming to the center soon after we opened in October 2011. They are both fired up by the Dharma and grateful to have found the Triratna Community to practice with. Sadhu to you both!
