The Abhayaratna Trust is the trusted way our Community can support Triratna Order members experiencing financial hardship, however and whenever that arises. It’s a straightforward conduit of compassion, sharing resources among us.  

We give to those in genuine need of support, where state and other help is not available. The grants we make are practical, fast and beneficial to Dharma practice and Order life. Supporting the Abhayaratna Trust also resources us to offer non-financial support where we can make a difference.

What you give to us, we give in considered grants to over 100 Triratna Buddhist Order members a year. So they can, for example:

• Go on a retreat or solitary retreat

• Access health and wellbeing therapies

• Be at Triratna Order gatherings and travel to chapter meetings

• Pay for urgent living costs such as utility bills

• Support relocation costs to other Triratna centres and countries

• Travel to Adhisthana and other retreat centres

• Access money quickly in an emergency

• Help with furnishing sheltered and other accommodation

• Pay for vital medical care or equipment

Support the Order Health Fund

In this 3 minute video Taradakini explains why regular donations to the specially set up Order Health Fund are vital if we are to relieve health-based suffering among members of the Order.

To donate via a monthly, quarterly or annual direct debit, please click here, or use this Stripe link if you bank outside the UK. You are also welcome to make a single donation to this fund. For other ways to donate, for example by bank transfer or cheque, please email jinavamsa@abhayaratnatrust.org.

The Order Health Fund can reduce physical and mental suffering when there are no funding alternatives. Please help us build this vital resource. Thank you.
