Welcome to Triratna Dunfermline Buddhist Group. Triratna Dunfermline is a new Buddhist group committed to making Buddhism and meditation available to the communities of Dunfermline, West Fife and their surrounding areas. See What We Offer for more information.
Our aim is straightforward – to provide a local, continuous, open presence where people who want to find out more about Buddhism or just want to learn about Buddhist meditation can come along, explore and practice together in a friendly atmosphere. We offer short courses for those who want to take a deeper dive into the Buddhism and its teachings (the Dharma) and the chance to meet as a local sangha for those who wish.
Triratna means the three jewels. These are the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha – the community of practitioners who follow the Dharma. The three jewels are the core ideals of Buddhism and serve as beacons for our development both as a community and as individuals. To quote the Buddhist Centre online
Triratna is a modern Buddhist community bringing the ancient teachings of the Buddha to life in today’s world, drawing on the whole Buddhist tradition and offering a profound path of practice.
We believe that Buddhism’s message is universal and timeless, but its essential teachings need to be seen afresh when times change. Triratna is devoted to practising Buddhism in ways that suit our lives today, without compromising its message.
