This year I am focusing on events for Triratna Order members. I feel the Order is at a crucial point and needs extra training, encouragement and support from senior teachers.

I would like to encourage established Triratna Centres to establish teaching programmes for local Order Members. This is not currently done. There are full programmes for newcomers, mitras, and regular friends, but there is usually very little for the Order - when around the more established centres there are often scores, even hundreds of Order members.
