Thank you for considering donating to the Vajrasana appeal.

We will be cycling approximately 110 miles from the London Buddhist Centre in Bethnal Green to its retreat centre Vajrasana in Suffolk, on 30 June and 1 July 2012.

There will be five of us and we will aim for simplicity and a low carbon journey: there will be no support vehicle, we will carry our own luggage and camp on the way. 

A retreat offers the opportunity to experience and practice meditation and Buddhist teachings in ideal conditions.

Vajrasana has been running retreats for over ten years, and now we want to improve and expand the retreat centre. We want to make it more and more a place that encourages and expresses an experience of kindness, friendship and awareness. Creating a retreat centre that mirrors and enhances our deepest spiritual and human wishes and enabling even more people to experience this.

I have been on several retreats at Vajrasana and it has always been a valuable experience. It makes me very happy to help the LBC raise funds for Vajrasana, and I hope you will want to support me.
