UK Sangha Registration


“Two thousand five hundred years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha proclaimed that the next Buddha will be named Maitreya, the ‘Buddha of Love.’ I think Maitreya Buddha may be a COMMUNITY and not just an individual. A good community is needed to help us resist the unwholesome ways of our time. Mindful living protects us and helps us go in the direction of peace. With the support of friends in the practice, peace has a chance.”
–Thich Nhat Hanh

The Community of Interbeing (COI) invites UK Sanghas to “register” as affiliated to the COI UK Charity. Affiliated UK Sanghas benefit from shared Public Liability Insurance as ‘Satellite or Regional Groups’, for which the CoI UK pays an annual fee. Other benefits of registration include the promotion of affiliated UK Sanghas on the Plum Village UK Website. By registering with the COI  charity, the Sangha commits to the values of the COI as a charity and the Plum Village practice. 

We are inviting Sanghas to make a financial contribution to the COI at the time of annual registration. We have set out some suggested contributions based on Sangha size in the form below. If the suggestions aren’t appropriate for your Sangha please make a contribution that speaks to your own particular Sangha circumstances, especially if you are just setting up as a Sangha and don’t yet have many regular Sangha members.

Please click the red button to “Make Registration Payment” . This button will take you to our payment processing partners, “Enthuse”, where you will be asked to fill in a few details. When you have finished you will return to this page.
