Ipswich Young Buddhists

An evening of uplifting collective practice for 18–30 year olds interested in Buddhism. Whether you’re completely new or already exploring, this is a space to sit together, tune in, and explore ancient wisdom in the context of modern life.

This month we are inviting Harshaprabha to join us for a conversation with Śunyamani about the early days of our movement, the Triratna Buddhist Community.

Sangharakshita, our founder, formed the movement in the late 1960s at the age of 41, having returned from India after 20 years of practising Buddhism. Offering a modern and radical approach to Buddhism in the West, the movement attracted many young people in the midst of a wider cultural revolution, seeking new ways of living and practising.

We hope the conversation will shed light on the evolution of the early movement, while also exploring what the Triratna Buddhist Order looks like today and its vision for the future.

Doors open 6:45pm

This event is free to attend, but if you feel moved to support us, donations are warmly appreciated. You can find more information on our Giving Page.
