Online Resorces

The outbreak of COVID-19 is a graphic reminder of the interconnectedness of all life. It is also a reminder to apply the Buddha’s teachings to respond with kindness, clarity and fearlessness. We have collected some of the best resources to help you navigate and keep these ideals alive during these challenging times.

Audio Talks & Guided Meditations

Free Buddhist Audio have a huge collection of audio talks from Triratna Order Members, and the complete archive of our teacher Sangharakshita.

Books & eBooks

With all this time being spent at home, now is a great time to dive into a Dharma book. Windhorse Publications have a great selection of books and eBooks from Triratna authors and are currently giving away a free topical eBook each week.

This week’s free eBook is There’s more to dying than death by Lama Shenpen Hookham. It will be available until 1st June.

The Buddhist tradition in all its variety is deeply interested in death. This book offers a Tibetan view that explores the nature of consciousness and what transitions can show us of the liberation of spiritual death and the opening of the heart. Shenpen Hookham, an early student of Sangharakshita, looks at bereavement, facing your own death and helping others who are dying or bereaved. It is inspiring and hopeful.
