Suspension of Bodhidharma

From Order Connection on Fri, 28 Jan, 2022 - 09:03

Dear Order members,

As his preceptor is no longer alive this is my responsibility, as Chair of the College of Public Preceptors, although I have reached this decision in consultation with my College Deputies on the basis of a recommendation from the Indian Kula of Public Preceptors and after hearing from Karmavajra, the Order Convenor for the Indian Area.

More than 150 large Indian charities, including at least one of our Triratna Trusts, have had their permission to receive foreign funding revoked by the Indian Government.
