Tiratanaloka Buddhist Retreat Centre

WOMEN POWER

BURSARIES AT TIRATANALOKA

Women from abroad, single mums and younger women sometimes need financial help coming on our retreats. Women from outlying situations may not have a Sangha to help them raise the cash they need. Our bursary fund has supported women from as far away as Mexico and Estonia, and as close as Buddhafield, to come here.

A TRAINING GROUND

For over ten years Tiratanaloka Retreat Centre has been providing training for women who wish to take ordination into the Triratna Buddhist Order. We are a unique resource for women, providing a range of longer retreats that explore the principles and practices of our Order, helping women to develop confidence in their spiritual potential, and to decide whether the WBO is for them.

Nearly 500 women have been ordained since Tiratanaloka Retreat Centre opened 15 yrs ago, more than doubling the number of Dharmacharinis in the world.

Women from Estonia, Sweden, Spain, South Africa, Germany, Holland, Belgium, USA, Mexico, New Zealand and Australia as well as Irish, Welsh, Scottish and English women, have benefited from the training we offer here, and joined the Order.

‘YOU ROCK OUR WORLD’

You can invest in Tiratanaloka by supporting us directly through standing order payments; as little as £2 a month makes a difference! By giving money to the Bursary fund, you can help women who can’t afford to come on retreat here; money is energy, and this is a great way to use yours to rock the world.
