In 2008 the Development team, concerned at the lack of young people entering our community, ran a weekend exploring how to inspire more young people in the Dharma.

Thus the Triratna Young Buddhists’ project emerged. It has grown significantly over the last 6 years, with Young Buddhists’ activities now thriving at many Centres, both in the UK and continental Europe, and with single-sex retreats and a large mixed retreat each year.

This spring Singhamati began work as the Triratna Young Persons’ Coordinator in Europe, working with the Development Team, to help further the important work. In preparation for her new role, Singhamati undertook some research.
