Mitra ceremony
A special celebration to welcome new mitras to the sangha
At this special celebration we welcome Duncan, Jilsy, Karen, Stewart and Susan to the mitra sangha.
The Sanskrit word ‘mitra’ simply means ‘friend’. Mitras are people who have made what we call a ‘provisional’ commitment to practising the Dharma within our spiritual community. This involves a commitment to Buddhism, to
practising the Buddhist path as taught within our tradition, and to the Triratna Buddhist Community as the main context for their practice.
Becoming a Mitra is a significant event in our spiritual lives, so it is marked by a significant public ceremony, which is a special event at the Buddhist centre, and to which many people invite their friends and family.
If you can, please bring a plate of vegetarian finger food to contribute to celebratory tea and cake afterwards.
