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 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.

Hi Bodhi,
The chapter was not so much about praise and blame, but about a description of the movement. Dr. Bluck's job, as he saw it (I think), was simply to draw a picture of the movement. Of necessity, given our history, this needed to cover the criticisms of the FWBO from the rest of the Buddhist world. I wonder whether it might be illuminating to invite Dr. to speak to his work in our centres...
Regards
Jayarava
