Survey: Shaping the Future of Triratna

By Singhamati on Mon, 17 Feb, 2014 - 13:06
Hello,

Are you between 14-35 years old and have you had some contact with the Triratna Buddhist Community either at a centre, group or online?
Would you help us by giving 15 minutes of your time?

A new and exciting fundraising campaign to raise one million pounds is about to be launched to offer life-changing, life-enhancing opportunities to YOU and other young people interested in Buddhism. To help us to prioritise what projects to fund for young people, we would like your help to find out about you and what you think.

In this survey we’ll ask questions about who you are; what is important to you; what your involvement in Buddhism has been; what works and doesn’t work for you; and what sort of projects you would like to get involved in. Please add your voice today and be part of shaping the future of Triratna for young people

Simply visit
