MONTREAL

September 2011

There is an interest in setting up a Triratna Buddhist Community Group in Montreal.  Two Friends there have appreciated what our Buddhist Movement has to offer and are in communication with Harshaprabha and a French woman Order Member to set up a group there.  This would be a great development.

Buddhapalita from Missoula, Montana visited Toronto at the end of September 2010 to market Tipus Chai www.tipuschai.comat at The Canadian Coffee and Tea Show.  Buddhapalita was Ordained with Harshaprabha in Tuscany 1982

Melissa, Joe and Harshaprabha spent an excellent evening with him.

How you can support

Triratna Ontario Would like to support my work in Ontario, Canada? 

Friends from Guelph, Wasaga Beach (on Georgian Bay), Goderich, Courtice and Toronto remain loyal and interested in the Triratna Buddhist Community. I would like to support them in raising funds every year and administering the funds collected. In this way encouraging their spiritual growth and communicating what this movement has to offer. 

I visit twice a year and on all occasions notice that the Dharma as communicated by Sangharakshita has an uplifting effect on all that come in contact with it.

An example of funds being used was in June 2009 my friend Cameron Clark, then living in Guelph paid a two week visit to the UK. He visited the Colchester and Ipswich Buddhist Centres and went on the Padmaloka Summer Retreat for Men. He experienced the benefits of a retreat along with meeting two lively Sanghas.  The retreat and some travel was funded from donations to justgiving.

I hope by clicking the above link and reading what is said it will encourage you to contribute to developing the Triratna in Canada.

With heartfelt thanks and appreciation from Harshaprabha
