News and reviews from across the worldwide Triratna Buddhist Community (formerly known as the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) and Trailokya Bauddha Mahasangha Sahayaka Gana (TBMSG) in India)
The College of Public Preceptors recently announced that Dharmacarini Subhadramati (right) has been appointed as a private preceptor. Subhadramati was involved in the London Buddhist Centre until she moved to Ireland, to help establish the Dublin Buddhist Centre in 1999. She has also taught meditation online for Wildmind. Last year she helped to edit a volume of new poetry by Buddhists called The Heart as Origami.
The Triratna Buddhist Community - formerly known as the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) - was founded in 1967 by Sangharakshita. It is now an international movement with activities in more than 20 countries, including India. The Triratna Buddhist Community is a non-sectarian Buddhist movement which seeks promote the practice of Buddhism in a form appropriate to the modern world.
Triratna means "Three Jewels", specifically the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, which are the central foci of a Buddhist's life and practice. They've long been represented in our logo and we're delighted that our name will now reflect them as well.
