Neither Monastic nor Lay: What Triratna Ordination Really Means

Neither Monastic nor Lay: What Triratna Ordination Really Means

Talk given by Padmasagara on 2026-01-17.

What does it really mean to commit your life to something? And what might a commitment to a Buddhist way of life look like today?

In this talk, Padmasagara reflects on the Triratna approach to ordination, an ordination described as being neither monastic nor lay. Drawing on his own experience of training and ordination, including the four-month ordination course in Spain, he explores the inspiration, challenges, and transformation involved in making such a commitment.
