The Triratna Dharma Training Course for Mitras

Viriyalila, FBA Team
Supporting donations help us to keep FBA freely available to thousands of people all over the world. Giving the gift of the Dharma is the greatest gift of all. (The Dhammapada)
Candradasa, FBA Team
Connecting with my own Buddhist friends and colleagues helps keep me inspired in my own life and practice, so it's very cool that I get to work on projects that help make this possible for others too.
Sravaniya, Boston, USA
When I was living far from a sangha, FBA talks were like a good Dharma friend. Free Buddhist Audio needs our contributions regularly (however small) so that it can continue its indispensable work.
Ratnavyuha, Auckland, NZ
I make it a practice to act out generous impulses, even if only small efforts. Financially supporting the free availability of the Dharma online is a simple gesture for me which maintains a significant resource for others.
Vajratara, Sheffield, UK
FBA is a vast mine of jewels, a fantastic resource for those looking for a spiritual perspective. A source of much joy when I have a spare hour to ponder the Universe. What gem can I download today?
Ratnaghosha, FBA Chairman
As the Chair of the charity that runs Free Buddhist Audio, I am completely inspired to be making available Dharma talks and study materials to anyone who has access to the internet.
Viryaja, Toowoomba, Australia
People's hunger for the Dharma is met openly and freely with Free Buddhist Audio. Our little centre library just cannot compete with all that is available here!
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.

Triratna dharma training course for mitras

Newly updated version now online for Spring 2011! Sign up for email notifications below and we'll let you know when we change things and introduce new features.

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

The course aims to give people in the Triratna community 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. Download the official Guide or listen to the launch talk and other special course resources now!

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 2011. In the meantime, there are complete reference links for all modules within the pdf files themselves.

We've formatted these pdf files to print out for use in a study group, and also to make them easy to read, navigate and search on-screen. There are complete reference links for each module within the files themselves. 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 Adobe Acrobat Reader.
