About Triratna

A living Buddhist 
community

Founded in 1967 by an Englishman named Sangharakshita, Triratna is a living, global community of people who practise Buddhism together — with friendship, encouragement, and shared aspiration. The Buddhist tradition calls this sangha — and it's at the heart of who we are

How we act

Ethical practice is central to how we act, individually and as a community. Our past has included real difficulties, and we have worked to learn from them — addressing what went wrong and developing our practice in response.
