Meditation and Buddhism | Triratna Buddhist Community
The new Spring Edition of Journey to Justice is available now - ready for Earth Day and packed with contributions from an amazing selection of Sangha members, each sharing their personal passion and focus around Equity, Diversity, Justice and Inclusion:
This year Triratna Day online is on the actual anniversary of the founding of the Triratna Buddhist Community. It’ll be the 57th ‘birthday’ and will be broadcast live from Monmouth Street, the site of the first center, and other historical sites associated with the early days.

These three lovely women were ordained in Mexico last week.

A very big thank you to everyone for making Saturday's picnic and fundraiser such a success! A special thanks to Prasadachitta and all the people - too many to name here - who contributed their invaluable organizational and creative skills: the food was fabulous, the pies were amazing, the auction was incredible, the picnic was excellent, the resourcefulness in dealing with the wind was impressive - and more that I've forgotten. I'm looking forward to seeing the photos.

PATHWAYS TO AWAKENING
Wednesdays in 2023, 7pm to 9pm.
Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Pathmaker, there is no path, the path is made by walking. (Antonio Machado)
There are as many paths to awakening as there are beings - it's up to us to start walking and let each step reveal itself, until, as some would say, we discover we were already where we wanted to be. Luckily the Buddha gave countless clear instructions to guide us. This year we'll look at some of them together.
As we approach the end of 2022 we want to thank everyone who has taken part in the courses, classes and retreats we have held over last two years. We have very much appreciated your presence and your generosity while we all navigated the changes brought by the pandemic.
We are fortunate that so many people are willing to share their kindness, wisdom and time to make the dharma available to more and more people who might benefit, regardless of income.
