The Triratna Buddhist Community was founded by Urgyen Sangharakshita and 2025 marks the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. For this special anniversary year our online celebration of Triratna Day will be a rejoicing in his life and qualities.
In each of the three sessions we will hear from three Order members - from different generations and parts of the world - about life changing encounters they had with Sangharakshita and the qualities that were communicated through those encounters.
Speakers include: Akasaka (UK/Finland), Buddhadasa (UK/Australia), Guhyavajra (New Zealand), Karunadevi (USA), Sridevi (Finland), Suryapala (USA) and Tarahridaya (India).
After the talks we’ll hear briefly about new initiatives from Future Dharma and the International Triratna Translations Board, then meditate together as an international spiritual community.
