Dear Friends,

We are delighted to be able to share with you some touching news.

Janaka, a beacon of compassion to so many of us, has left a lasting legacy by supporting his three cherished charities in his Will: the Abhayaratna Trust, Karuna and Vajraloka.

Janaka's generosity has not only empowered our three charities to continue our vital work, but it has also inspired us to reflect on the profound impact each of us can make when we plan for the future. His legacy serves as a reminder that collectively, through our individual actions, we possess the ability to shape the world for generations to come.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Janaka for his kindness and vision. His gift will make a truly profound difference in the lives of those we serve in our charities.

A Call to Reflect and Act
Janaka's inspiring example invites us to consider the lasting impact we can leave on the world. The actions and decisions we make in the present can benefit others far beyond our own lifetime – and including Triratna charities in your Will is a beautiful way to ensure just that.

Please consider the power you have to positively transform lives and leave a gift in your Will. For more information on how to leave a lasting legacy, please visit:

About Janaka
Janaka was ordained in 1993 by Suvajra. He was 81 years old when he died in July 2022. He first came along to the London Buddhist Centre at the end of the 1970s and was very active in the movement since that time. In his more than forty years with Triratna, he lived, mostly in communities, in London, Oxford, Glasgow, Dhanakosa, Cambridge and, for the last 15 years of his life, in Bristol where he became a much loved and appreciated Sangha member. He also had a close connection with India, working for many years for Karuna, and visiting India on a number of occasions.

Janaka’s sadhana was Avalokitesvara and he very much exemplified compassion in his life.
