Run a Gratitude and Giving Evening in your study group

As part of our ‘Avalokiteshvara in the World appeal’ we want you to help us raise £1million over the next two years. We are asking 1,000 people to give or raise £1,000.  One the best ways to do this is to raise the money together with friends in your study group through a Gratitude and Giving Evening.

This evening workshop is presented by one (or two) of a study group to the rest of the group. Does the Sangha address world problems? What benefits have the individuals in the group received from being part of a Sangha? – questions that explore how individual practice affects ourselves and others.

How can this benefit can be passed on? FutureDharma Fund supports Triratna projects worldwide, and we’ll invite a donation to support their Dharma work (this may be the only time that Mitras are asked to support the International Sangha during their course of study).

A gratitude and Giving evening is a positive challenge for the individuals presenting the evening, and to prepare for the evening there is comprehensive support material and one-to-one support at hand from Maitrinara. Study groups who have completed the evening have all reported a deepening of their appreciation for their local situation and the International Triratna Sangha jewel.

The Evening is now the optional final unit of the What is the Sangha? Year 2 study module, but if this module is already completed then the evening works well between modules anytime after the end of the first year.
