You couldn't make it up.. both with broken wrists

We have sorted out the paypal problem. Booking through the website should work okay now (fingers crossed).

Our website is online! Please take a tour. You can now book through our website. I'm afraid that if you send us a cheque or pay through the bank, we'll have to send it back.

We have sent out our programme and encountered our first glitch... our new website isn't online yet. It should be tomorrow (fingers crossed). Please don't send us any cheques!

Regional Order weekend for Dharmacharinis

Quite a few of you have asked for our new programme... Don't worry, it is coming! We are just in the process of updating our website so you can book online. We've been looking at the draft version and believe me, it will be worth the wait.

Tiratanaloka Buddhist Retreat Centre For Women | Vision Statement

Happy Dharma Day everyone! A day of gratitude for how the Dharma has benefited us and others, and a wish for it to continue positively effecting the world. On this auspicious day, why not give a donation to Dharma work? You could give something to the Tiratanaloka bursary fund, enabling women to come on retreat here who would otherwise not be able to afford it. http://www.tiratanaloka.org.uk/bursary.html “Throw open the door to the Deathless! Let them hear the Dhamma realised by the Stainless One! Just as one standing on a mountain peak Might see people all around below, So, O wise one, All-seeing sage Ascend the palace of the Dhamma. Free from sorrow, behold the people Submerged in sorrow, oppressed by birth & aging. Rise up, victorious hero, caravan leader, O Teacher, wander without debt in the world. Teach the Dhamma, O Blessed One: There will be those who will understand.” "Just as in a pond of blue or red or white lotuses, some lotuses — born & growing in the water — might flourish while immersed in the water, without rising up from the water; some might stand at an even level with the water; while some might rise up from the water and stand without being smeared by the water — so too, surveying the world with the eye of a Buddha, I saw beings with little dust in their eyes. Open for them are the doors to the Deathless”
