The Triratna Buddhist Order and Community (formerly Friends of the Western Buddhist Order) is an international network of committed Buddhists dedicated to communicating the Buddhaʼs teaching in ways appropriate to the modern world. It was founded by Urgyen Sangharakshita in 1967.
Triratna Video Library is a project of the the Urgyen Sangharakshita Trust, the charity dedicated to preserving Urgyen Sangharakshita’s legacy.
In 2005 Sangharakshita donated all his books and artefacts to the Trust, and by his Will also placed his literary, photographic and video archives also into the Trust’s care. This valuable legacy is being made accessible to future generations through various projects including Urgyen House, the Sangharakshita Library, the Triratna Picture Library and the Triratna Video Library.
Videos on this site are:
- Free for personal use, by donation
- Protected under copyright for commercial use. You can license footage or stills for use in documentaries, news bulletins, museum displays, online content, educational or corporate productions, feature films, and more.
Videos are regularly added to the Library. If you cannot find what you are looking for please contact us and we will be happy to assist you. In addition to the online Library, a complete offline Triratna Video Archive containing all digitised edited and unedited Triratna video material is accessible by arrangement.
Contact Mokshapriya at info@urgyenhouse.org for further details.
The Library and Archive project was co-funded with our partner FutureDharma.
A tradition starts with a history and fortunately, much of Triratna's history was captured on video.
We're working to make these videos available so that future generations have a clear sense of connection with their lineage.
But we can only do this with your help!
