Help Susana from Triratna Tokyo come to the UK for 2 months

Meet Susana who lives in Tokyo and is helping to get Triratna Tokyo sangha off the ground! She's amazing, and really inspired by the Dharma - but she's had very little Triratna sangha contact herself. Now, she has the chance to come to the UK in July and August 2025 to go on retreats at Taraloka and Adhisthana, spend time in the Taraloka Community and visit some city sanghas. But she needs to raise money to make this possible. Can you give Susana the opportunity to deepen her practice?

Susana and the embryonic Tokyo sangha

Susana's committed to the Dharma herself, and wants to help share that with others - but how can you start a Triratna sangha without experience of sangha and supportive conditions? She needs to cover travel and retreat costs and also money to help pay the bills to keep her home going while she's away (Susana has two teenage kids, and Tokyo isn't cheap!)

I met Susana when I was travelling in Japan in 2023 - and I really want to help her fundraise. You couldn't meet more friendly, generous hosts than Susana and her husband Antonio. Aryapala, Sraddhapa, Akuppa, Dharmasara and Shraddharochani are also involved with Triratna Tokyo - but Susana's the only one who lives there, and of course who speaks fluent Japanese (along with English and Spanish). Please help Susana experience retreats and Sangha in the UK - to help her give the Dharma to others.
