Transforming the World
Through Passing on the DharmaIn its first 50 years Triratna has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Triratna has much to celebrate as an international Dharma community.
However, Urgyen Sangharakshita’s warning that the human race must evolve or face extinction is more urgent than ever in the face of environmental degradation, ethnic violence, and the ongoing threat of nuclear terrorism or warfare.
And meanwhile millions of people live empty or unhappy lives.
Since the root of all of these problems is the greed and hatred lodged deep in the human heart. The only long-term solution is enough men and women around the world committing to growing in wisdom and compassion, and helping others to do the same.
This will require effective spiritual communities like Triratna that support the growth of individuals who work as a force for good in the world.
Not by hatred are hatreds ever pacified here (in the world). They are pacified by love. This is the eternal law.
Those responsible for the Order, College and Movement, as well as the International Council, have been reflecting on what we can all do to respond to the needs of the world over the next 50 years.
The fruit is a set of nine Dharma priorities and a programme of projects:
Get Involved
Find out how you can help, whatever your situation.
Make a monthly gift or give a one-off. We welcome donations, whatever the size
Run a 'Gratitude and Giving Evening' in your study group or hold an appeal in your centre to support a specific Triratna project
Gift a percentage of your estate to Triratna through FutureDharma
We estimate needing £500,000 in gifts each year by 2021 to fund this work effectively.
