Story
As part of the Tiratanaloka Ordination Team it is a real privilege to be alongside many women as they deepen their going for refuge to the Three Jewels and aspire to join the Triratna Buddhist Order - an Order founded by Bhante Sangharakshita and inspired by his vision of the Buddha's Dharma.
I want to contribute to the vision of Tiratanaloka Unlimited, where more and more women have access to deepening their practice and joining Bhante's Order, where they are not held back by how many bedrooms we have or how many we can fit into our shrine room!
I want to contribute to this vision by honouring Bhante's legacy to us in the form of his Completed Works, and I am committing to reading all 27 volumes in 24 months so that by the time we move into our new retreat centre I will have read all his published words! A daunting but exciting task and I look forward to deepening my connection to him and his teachings in this way.
I also hope that whatever I might accrue through doing this I will be able to pass on, in some small measure, to those who come through the doors of our new retreat centre, and onwards through them!
May the Buddha's protect my efforts, may my eyes not fail me, and with your encouragement and support may I reach my fundraising target for this adventure.
Thank-you!
