calling young Triratna Buddhists - June weekend announced

Mat New and Vidyaruci write from Birmingham UK with news of a special weekend for Young Triratna Buddhists to be held in June. Entitled ‘The New Society in Principle and Practice’, they plan to -

* Investigate the social implications of the Buddha's teaching, as expressed through the ideal of the New Society
* Learn how this ideal has manifested in practice through the institutions of the Triratna Community
* Explore how we can benefit from these institutions, and how best to support them.
* Receive encouragement and guidance in the development of new initiatives
* Practise and inspire one another in the spirit of Sangha.

Dates are 17-19 June, place is the Birmingham Buddhist Centre, and the weekend will be led by Vajragupta and others from the Triratna Development Team. Payment will be by voluntary donation; participants will include students of the Triratna Dharma Training Course.
