The Abhayaratna Trust will have a stall in the ‘shopping mall’ at the UK & Ireland convention at Wymondham college this month, where you can come and talk to one of the team and find out more about what we do. We will also be putting on some events.

Mahasraddha, the Trust’s director, will be running a workshop in which he will provide information and invite discussion on the need for care in the Order and how that need might adequately be met. This is a topic that affects all of us and you would be welcome to come along and participate.

You may have attended one of the musical performances that Taradakini and Jinavamsa have offered at previous Order events, with original songs and narrative on the myths of Orpheus or Persephone. This year in a performance called The Moon and the Mariner, they will be playing some new songs they have written, inspired by Coleridge’s great ballad poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Don’t miss it.

Thursday. 18th Aug. 2.15pm. Mahasraddha; Care in the Order Workshop.

Friday 19th Aug. 2.15pm. The Moon and the Mariner; songs written and performed by Taradakini and Jinavamsa based on The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.

Saturday 20th Aug. 4.00pm. Main stage, short presentation making it clear what the Abhayaratna Trust do.
