Related-party transaction: The document mentions supporting Bodhikamala using funds contributed from other parties in Triratna, but does not explicitly state a transaction amount or specific related party entity name in the notes.
“The Trust continued to manage supporting Bodhikamala in her work as Order Communications officer, drawing on funds contributed in 2023 from other parties in Triratna. This arrangement ceased at the end of 2024 and the balance in that account was therefore zero.” — page 5
