About Us

History Organisation Triratna Sangharakshita

Organisation: The Centre is a non-profit making organisation. All prices are given at the cost to the Centre based on our expenditure. Special reductions can be considered for meditation and Buddhism & Meditation classes. Please contact the Centre to discuss this as appropriate. Our aim is to create a radical economy based on generosity, in which we each give what we can and take what we need. We depend heavily on donations and covenants from friends who share our aim of making Buddhism available to Glasgow and, increasingly, to Scotland as a whole.

We are part of the Triratna Buddhist Community. Triratna Glasgow, which runs the Centre, is a registered charity - Scottish Charities Office number SC006883 - and the Council which is responsible for the overall governance of the Centre consists at present of eight members of the Western Buddhist Order: Dassini (Chairman), Kuladharini (Treasurer), Nayaka, Jyotipakshini, Gunasiddhi, Suriyavamsa, Tarasiddhi and Vairocana. Copies of the minutes of meetings are available from the Centre on request.
GBC council members

The Triratna Buddhist Community was founded by Sangharakshita, a Londoner who spent 20 years as a Buddhist monk in India benefiting from the learning of teachers of many Buddhist traditions. Upon his return to Europe he saw the need for a new form of Buddhism through which the central principles of Buddhism could be practiced in modern society without either following traditional Eastern culture or losing in translation what was genuinely Buddhist.

In 1968 he established the Triratna Buddhist Order.
