By Centre Team on Wed, 10 Apr, 2024 - 14:38

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...

Feeling the Heat: Communities Adapting to a Changing Climate

By Ananta on Sat, 6 Aug, 2022 - 10:01

At Karuna USA we believe that every individual deserves a decent life and the opportunity to achieve their potential, regardless of caste, race or ethnicity. This ‘vision’ is oh-so apparent to us as temperatures soar across the globe.

With records continuing to be broken in the US and Europe, Karuna USA’s focus countries of India, Nepal and Bangladesh are similarly suffering under the staggering heat. March and April of this year were the hottest on record in India, regularly...

Supporting Girls’ and Women’s Rights to Reproductive Health in Nepal

By Ananta on Tue, 26 Jul, 2022 - 19:27

A little known area of the work of the Karuna network - the UK, Germany and the USA - is in supporting women’s reproductive rights and other basic rights. 

A common phenomenon across South Asia is a practice of periodically excluding girls and women from participating in their regular life, with no access to public areas. They are locked out of the house to sleep in stables or shacks. This often leads to hypothermia,...

Is Karuna still supporting Triratna Projects in India? 

By Centre Team on Wed, 15 Jun, 2022 - 15:20

Recently, we shared that several leading Triratna Trusts in India have sadly lost their permission to receive foreign funding. For this reason, as a UK-based organisation, Karuna is no longer able to fund some of our long-standing projects in India, such as the Educational Hostels.  

As we know that many of Karuna’s supporters and those who volunteer for our fundraising appeals are Triratna Order Members, mitra’s or friends and we wanted to let you know that Karuna is still funding...

Big Changes to Funding Movement Projects in India

By Centre Team on Thu, 13 Jan, 2022 - 12:05

As you may have seen in the news, the past few weeks have seen major changes affecting the NGO sector in India. 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.

Most significantly, TBMSG Pune has had its foreign contributions permission removed. This is one of the main trusts supporting Triratna social projects in India. It employs 67 staff, mostly Mitras and...

Closure of the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Cultural Institute (ITBCI) School

By Sadayasihi on Tue, 30 Nov, 2021 - 16:32

The Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Cultural Institute (ITBCI) school is closing its doors with a finale event today. In February 2021 the school’s trustees made the decision to close later in the year, and now that day has come.
