The Triratna Dharma Training Course for Mitras

Coleen, FBA Team
My experience of FBA is that without it, I wouldn't have the chance to hear others in the Triratna community teach. It would be harder to keep going without that inspiration and sense of connection.
Sangharakshita, Birmingham, UK
It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to know FBA is benefitting so many people around the world. This is one of the most important developments within our new Buddhist community for many years.
Candradasa, FBA Team
It's exciting to watch as hundreds of thousands of lives are touched by the Dharma each year and, hopefully, made a little brighter by the experience of FBA!
Nagabodhi, London, UK
FBA transmits some of the best talks given by members of the Triratna Buddhist Order. A friend in Hamburg can now listen to a talk given in India, or England, within hours of its original delivery!
Suvarnagarbha, Cambridge, UK
When I think about FBA, the inexhaustible lamps from the Vimalakirti Nirdesa comes to mind. With the internet, the capacity for lamps to light other lamps is inexhaustible. It never needs to stop...
Eric, FBA Team
It's a joy to work for such a noble cause as FBA, spreading the Dharma across the internet and into the 21st century...
Nagabodhi, London, UK
FBA's work means, among other things, that we are much less likely to turn into a galaxy of disconnected centres, and more able to evolve and develop as a unified and harmonious Dharma community.
Coleen, FBA Team
I don't know what to say to express the gratitude I feel to have been so privileged to be able to work on Dharma talks produced by the finest minds in the Triratna community.

Welcome to the new Dharma Training Course designed primarily for Mitras ('friends') involved with the FWBO Buddhist community.

The course aims to give people in the FWBO a thorough grounding in Dharma study and practice. It also makes an excellent general course for anyone interested in putting Buddhist teaching into practice in their life.

The foundation year is available with a full reference section for further context and engagement. We'll add further reference sections for other years in 2010. In the meantime, there are complete reference links for all modules within the pdf files themselves.

We've formatted the files to print out for use in a study group, and also to make them easy to read, navigate and search on-screen. Click any file to read online, or right-click and choose 'save (or download) linked file' to download to your computer. You should be able to use the pdfs without any trouble. If you're experiencing difficulty viewing them, you may need to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Please note, to access the Teacher's resources for each year, you'll need to log in with the general Order username and password.
