Hi all, from the folk here at Dharmachakra. We’re the Right Livelihood team who provide The Buddhist Centre Online and Free Buddhist Audio, and who look after most Triratna social media spaces. Amongst other things!

We wanted to share a few notes about getting the best out of this online space as a support for your practice during the Urban Retreat. If you have any questions, please feel free to add to the comments here, or email us...

Veganuary - recipes, inspiration and more

By jane.easton@blu... on Mon, 5 Jan, 2015 - 07:34The lovely folk at www.veganuary.com have relaunched last year’s site and it’s even better (and bigger) - and of course, it’s free. Whether you’ve already dipped your toes in the waters of vegan life or want to give it a go, this is a great resource. It may be that you want to try the entire month as a vegan or perhaps try a more gradual approach, eg Vegan Monday (or Tuesday or…) It’s completely flexible.

IMPORTANT - Advance notice of server change for The Buddhist Centre Online

Hi All,

This is just to let you know that in advance of the Urban Retreat starting on Saturday we’re busy making technical preparations to handle an expected upsurge in traffic to the website. Already in the past 10 days we’ve welcomed an extra five and a half thousand visitors (that makes 46,500 in the last month) and we want to make sure things go as smoothly as possible for everyone tuning into the content from...

An Update for The Buddhist Centre Online

By Candradasa on Wed, 10 Jul, 2013 - 20:51

You may have noticed today that some things about the site have changed. If we were an App on your computer or phone (which isn’t a bad way to think about it) this would be version 1.5 or thereabouts! The Buddhist Centre Online has been up and running in what we consider its basic form (version 1.0) for just over a year, and we’ve had a proper home page for six months now. So it was time to take stock...

Tip No. 5: Getting the most out of your spaces

By Candradasa on Fri, 13 Jul, 2012 - 23:45

We’ve been up and running for a month or so properly now and our To Do list is already as long as all our arms laid end to end! It’s amazing hearing feedback and people’s excitements and frustrations at what they can and can’t (yet) do on our new platform. We’re committed to developing the site in line with how it’s actually being used, and while we can’t match Facebook quite yet, there’s still a lot...

Tip No.3: Involving the Sangha

By Candradasa on Wed, 27 Jun, 2012 - 00:04

For today’s tip I wanted to talk about the why of The Buddhist Centre Online with regard to local Centres. We’ve already had some really enthusiastic sign-ups for the space, which is great for us as we view this as a very long-term project indeed! We’re just at the start of what we hope will be quite a shift in the way all of us see our collective work in spreading the Dharma around the world and serving...

Tip No. 2: Invisible Groups and Order-only Groups...

By Candradasa on Wed, 20 Jun, 2012 - 20:39

We’ve had a few enquiries about this, so I thought I’d write a tip about how to get the most out of Groups on your Project and still keep some things completely private.

As you’ll recall from our last tip, unlike Projects (which are always visible and completely public so anyone can ‘follow’ anytime), we’ve set up Groups so they are always visible but private by default. That means people need to click ’+ join’ to...

Tip No.1: 'About' Pages & Introduction

By Candradasa on Wed, 13 Jun, 2012 - 18:59

Hi all! We’ve been up and running for a week or so and we’ve had plenty of thoughts already about how we can improve things for you as you get your Projects and Groups going! We’re also playing catch-up a bit in giving you information that can help you make the most of the site, so I’ll be making a few posts in the coming weeks offfering tips for how to use the social network to attract users...
