Triratna NY • NJ

The Triratna Buddhist Community of NY • NJ is dedicated to engagement and connection with one another and the world, as viable means of waking up. Rather than an escape, we offer a context for leaning into our realities with compassion, awareness and a commitment to collective liberation.

We are part of a larger vibrant network of public centers, communities, ethical businesses, and social projects in the Americas, Europe, India, and beyond. Founded in 1968, the Triratna Buddhist Community is now a worldwide movement of people engaging with the Buddha’s teachings in a remarkable range of diverse conditions and settings.

“Triratna” is a Sanskrit term meaning 'three jewels' : the Buddha, Dharma (the Buddha’s teachings) and Sangha (the community of all those who follow the teachings).
