[Buddha-l] A disorderly Buddhist community

[Dayamati]

The council of elders of the former Western Buddhist Order, recently renamed the Triratna Buddhist Order, have met to ponder their new name. After much discussion and careful reflection, they have decided that calling the organization and Order is too confusing. (Perhaps it makes people think that new members are ordained, rather than initiated.) So now the name has been changed yet again. The old WBO --> TBO is now the (drum rolls please, but hold the ratamacues) Triratna Buddhist Community (TBC), which I suppose the folks in the low countries will call De Boeddhistische Gemeenschap van de Drie Juwelen (BGDJ).

I myself remain a Bright jeweller.
