A tradition starts with a history and fortunately, much of Triratna's history was captured on video.
We're working to make these videos available so that future generations have a clear sense of connection with their lineage.

This documentary explores the unique approach to the ordination of women of the Western Buddhist Order/Trailokya Bauddha Mahasangha (now Triratna Buddhist Order).Because the Order is neither lay nor monastic it enables women from diverse circumstances to commit themselves to the Buddhist path. In many Buddhist traditions men must be involved in women’s ordinations but here women have the whole responsibility.Through history and personal stories, women of this Order communicate the nature of commitment to the Buddhist path, the experience of ordination, and the impact that commitment has on the world.
