THE INDIA DHAMMA TRUST
The main activity of the Trust is to support those in India who wish to make a life-long commitment to Buddhism. We do this by supporting those who train men and women wishing to join the Triratna ('Three Jewels') Buddhist Order. Triratna is a non-sectarian Buddhist movement that promotes the practice of Buddhism in a form appropriate to the modern world.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a substantial surplus of £47,689 for the year ended 31 March 2025, bringing total net assets to £63,259. However, the trustees note that this surplus does not represent unrestricted funds available for operational use because a legacy was held in a notice savings account pending transfer to a partner organization. The charity continues to face challenges regarding FCRA certification for transferring funds to partners in India.
