Guhyavajra and his new bike

By The Abhayaratna... on Fri, 23 May, 2025 - 12:09

Our recent appeal for Guhyavajra, raised the £2,800 needed for him to buy an ebike, which he needed to stay mobile as caretaker at Sudarshanaloka.

He writes, ‘Ebikes are expensive items …. so your generosity is greatly appreciated and valued. Also thanks to the team of magicians at Abayaratna trust who can make things happen and positively affect Order Members lives. What an Order we have - quite remarkable.’

Starts 16 June

Listen to how life-changing a course can be!

Based on the principles of Death Café, an initiative set up in 2011 by psychotherapis Jon Underwood, these gatherings respond to what many of us recognise as a lack of such opportunities in our...
