In this episode of Geographical Buddhism, we explore the history and beliefs of the Triratna Buddhist Community, a modern Buddhist movement founded by Sangharakshita. While Triratna aimed to adapt Buddhism for the West, its legacy is clouded by allegations of ethical misconduct and concerns over its leadership. What can we learn from its evolution? Tune in as we examine its philosophy, differences from Early Buddhism, and the controversies that continue to spark debate.
