New Film from Karuna Fund Raising
Following on from Big Sister, the 2005 documentary of a Karuna Appeal, a new film has just been released by Karuna.
On the Threshold (38mins) is another look at Karuna Appeals but moves on from the introductory day-in-the-life format of Big Sister. As an exploration of Dharma practice in ‘the world’, On the Threshold while being set within the context of a Karuna Appeal will be relevant to a wider audience than those interested in doing an Appeal. The interviews, with twelve fundraisers and trainers from three Appeals, present a frank and honest exploration of the fears that can arise when we try to communicate from our Buddhist values. It’s a film about the desire we have to realise our connectedness with others and a moving testimony of the joy that comes when we manage to step out from behind our limitations and realise that connectedness.
The film, as well as the previous Karuna film, is also available to watch, or download, from the Karuna Appeal Wesbite.

As a professional fundraiser, and one who follows the Buddha, I think this is perhaps one of the best videos I have seen on the transformative value of raising money on fundraisers themselves. Great work.
