The Buddhawierde is on its way to becoming a Triratna group. Triratna is a global organization with safety and ethics guidelines. We are also in the process of becoming a member of the Buddhist Union of the Netherlands.
We want everyone who comes to our centre to feel safe in all respects and at all times. If this doesn’t happen – and if you don’t want to share this with the leader(s) of the event at the time – you can raise this with us confidentially. Please feel free to contact one of our Safeguarding Officers to share your experience:
Dhammapitika (male), lives in Driebergen. He is a teacher on the Hogeschool Utrecht and is trained and certified as a safeguarding officer. He is also chairman of the Metta Vihara retreat centre and involved in Triratna Arnhem
Abhayanetri (female), lives in Diemen. She is is trained and certified as a safeguarding officer, and active in the Amsterdam Buddhist centre and in Metta Vihara. Until 2019 she worked as a coach for individuals, teams and organisations.
Their email address is: vertrouwenspersoon.triratna@protonmail.com. Please state in the subject-line of your email to which Safeguarding Officer you are addressing your concern. You can also address your email to both.
