From the 2019 Triratna Buddhist Order Pan-American Convention in Mexico, an excellent triad of short talks looking at what it means to be radical in the context of our history as a community - and what it might mean in future.

Upekshamati, founder of much of the Triratna community’s presence in Mexico, starts us off with a précis and his personal response to Sangharakshita’s talk from 1999 - ‘Looking Ahead A Little Way’. 

Aryajaya picks up the theme by giving her personal perspective on Triratna history 20 years after the talk, exploring how much has changed in key areas of our community’s life.

Finally, Lokeshvara offers a personal take on the principles of Dharma practice in Triratna, offering a distillation of eight principles that animated our community in the past and will always need to be renewed in the life of anyone following the Buddha’s way in future.

Recorded at Chintamani Retreat Centre, Mexico, October 2019.

With simultaneous translation in Spanish.
