From London 1968 to Kreuzberg Today: The Story of Our Sangha

Talk given by Sanghadarshini on 2026-04-04. 

An evening in April 1968 marked the beginning of something new in Western Buddhism: the founding of the Triratna Buddhist Order, a spiritual community rooted in friendship, practice, and equality between men and women.

This talk revisits those early days in London and traces how this living tradition continues today in places like Berlin. It also includes a personal reflection on the path of ordination and what it means to step into a life shaped by the Dharma and the sangha.

An invitation to understand who we are, and what this community is really about.
