Gyproc & Flares: Sukhavati in the 1970s

By Centre Team on Sat, 8 Apr, 2017 - 23:46

Siddhiratna sent this amazing short archive film of the very early days of the FWBO (former name for Triratna) in London in the 1970s as the new community there were preparing to build what would become the London Buddhist Centre in an old fire station…

“The videos were shot on Standard 8 film in what I think would be the mid ’70s, maybe ‘76, ‘77. The corrugated iron still up on the windows and Subhuti, Ratnaguna, Dharmapriya (?) and others are...

Subhuti - For the Welfare of the World (Audio)

By Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 8 Apr, 2017 - 23:01

A great talk by Subhuti, live streamed around the world from London at the time, to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Triratna Buddhist Community. 

The fire of peace has been ignited in the world by the Buddha. It burns brightly today in the Triratna Order and movement, and inspired by Sangharakshita’s vision will burn well into the future – but how do we fan the flames so that the heat of practice transforms the world?

Chaired by Subhadramati....

A joyous day at Adhisthana

By Aryanisha on Sat, 8 Apr, 2017 - 22:27

It’s been a fantastic day here at Adhisthana and I feel absolutely spoilt. I have to admit I’m a bit tired now and I’m still struggling with the wifi - but here is a little post to get a feel for the day….

The atmosphere has been unbelievably positive. I’m sure that’s down to the depth and breadth of the threads of friendship that criss-cross through the people around me. Meditating together, nipping out to the shops with Akasajoti for croissants to...

Happy 50th birthday, Triratna!

By Munisha on Sat, 8 Apr, 2017 - 22:22

This weekend Triratna sanghas around the world are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Triratna Buddhist Community’s foundation (as the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order) in London, UK, on the evening of Friday 7th April 1967.

That evening is well described by Sangharakshita near the end of his volume of memoirs, Moving Against the Stream: the birth of a new Buddhist movement, which also gives an account of the context from which the FWBO emerged.

At 6.10 drove round to Vihara with Terry.

50 BALLOONS over Stockholm

By Viryabodhi on Fri, 7 Apr, 2017 - 07:25

Celebrating 50 years of Triratna in the world, a few of us in the Stockholm sangha went up to Skinnarviksberget, with a view over parts of central Stockholm (the Town Hall in the background), with 50 balloons in yellow, blue and red. They of course symbolised the three jewels, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. We recited the Transference of merits and self-surrender from the sevenfold puja and then let the balloons go. They wonderfully ‘sailed away’ over the sky towards the north. After 5...
