Metta in action
The Abhayaratna Trust exists to relieve financial hardship and its consequences when it arises among individual members of the Triratna Buddhist Order.
We do this by giving practical aid to Order members in the form of cash grants, non-financial support and running individual appeals. We also develop Sangha Support Networks to organise local help for Order members in need.

Current appeals
After 13 years of serving the Order through her work for the Abhayaratna Trust, Taradakini is stepping down for health reasons – including some vision loss which makes screen work difficult.
We want her to have a good rest for six months without money worries, so we are launching this appeal as an opportunity to express our collective appreciation for all she has done.

65+ a unique retreat
How did Bhante stay inspired as he aged. Paramartha will give a talk on the 65+ retreat in October at adhisthana on Bhante's journey through ageing - how he held on to his vision and practice even as ageing and the inevitability of death unfolded in his life.
In this short video Mahasraddha and Paramartha explain more about the retreat and why it is significant.
