The English Sangha Trust

As with all Theravada Buddhist Monasteries, the Sangha at Amaravati is supported by dana - freewill offerings. As monks and nuns cannot handle money, the English Sangha Trust (registered charity no. 231310) acts as their steward.

The Trust was set up in 1956 to promote the teachings of the Buddha in the UK by providing and maintaining residences for the Sangha.

Today it is responsible for the upkeep of Amaravati and Cittaviveka Monasteries.

For more information on any of the above, please enquire by writing to Amaravati.
