Community Champion in Birmingham

Now here’s an opportunity! A bit of an adventure, even!

We have three communities around the Birmingham Buddhist Centre.  We’re looking for an Order member to move in to one of our men’s communities – rent-free for two years – and invest some time and energy helping the communities to thrive and expand. 

South Birmingham is a great place to live, and we have a well-established Buddhist Centre with an extensive and supportive sangha. So there should be plenty of encouragement and...

​Womens’ Community Opportunity near the Birmingham Buddhist Centre

This is an exciting and unusual opportunity for women who are dedicated to their practice of the dharma, and who are interested in living in a Buddhist community to take this deeper in a more intense, collective context. 

We are two GFR mitras, both in our mid-twenties and are looking to have conversations with other mitras, order members, and friends that are interested in community living. We are looking to set up a small community near the...

Women of Faith: International Women's Day at BMAG -1

By Munisha on Tue, 26 Apr, 2016 - 11:19

Samachitta, until recently Chair of Triratna’s Birmingham Buddhist Centre, spoke at an International Women’s Day interfaith event at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) on 10th March 2016.

Here’s the text of her talk, ‘Women who have inspired me’ in which she talks about the Buddha’s aunt Mahaprajapati, Dipa Ma and Triratna’s own Maitrisara, Birmingham’s mitra convenor for women - whose picture currently appears next to a Triratna kesa in BMAG’s exhibition ‘Faith in Birmingham’.

The handover took place on on Triratna Day, 10th April, within the context of a sevenfold puja led by Paramartha, our Centre President and attended by nearly one hundred people.

By Munisha on Wed, 27 Jan, 2016 - 09:41

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG), UK, launches its new Faith in Birmingham Gallery with a VIP event on 4th February. 

The centrepiece will be the museum’s longstanding star, the Sultanganj Buddha, discovered by workers building a railway in India in 1862, but as Samacitta found, the museum’s collection features one or two more Buddhist surprises. She’s Chair of Triratna’s Birmingham Buddhist Centre.
