A tradition starts with a history and fortunately, much of Triratna's history was captured on video.

In this series of programmes broadcast on British (ITV) television in 1988, Sangharakshita accepted an invitation to present seven nightly short 'thoughts' on Buddhism. Each programme is between 1.5 - 2 minutes. For these late night thoughts he offered reflections on his experiences of pilgrimage.
1. Buddhism and the Buddha. An introduction.
2. Buddhist pilgrimage. Faith in the possibility of human communication.
3. Climbing Grdhrakuta. The need for effort to reach the goal.
4. Pilgrimage to Stonehenge. Whatever is well said is the word of the Buddha
5. The solemnity of Kusinara. The peace of mind that transcends death.
6. On pilgrimage with Dhardo Rinpoche - a remarkable man.
7. Bodh Gaya. Peace as the true goal of the spiritual life.
