It has been some time since we posted something from Guhyaloka and recently we have been reviving our internet presence.

The new website address is www.guhyaloka.org (not .com although it will pass you on to .org)

And our new facebook address is https://facebook.com/Guhyaloka.Retreat.Centre

Take a look

Here is a photo of the shrine room at Uttaraloka to whet the appetite of some you men to take a longer retreat in beautiful, quiet, safe surroundings. (Click on the expansion icon to see the whole image)

02 - 16 Sep 2017

Join us for a special retreat marking 30 years of ordinations here at Guhyaloka. Re-connect with your experience of spiritual rebirth at the sacred spot where hundreds of men have started their new lives as members of our Order.

Hosted by the Guhyaloka team.

To book email info@guhyaloka.com

The core team at Guhyaloka right now is myself, Vidyasiddhi and Dridhakarin. After more than a year, Dayajina will be leaving us at the end of November to return to Germany. So we are looking for an Order member (or Order members) to come and join us. There are various options. Ideally for us we would like someone to come and join us full time and stay for a couple of years or more. What also works well is people coming out for shorter periods. This could be for a month in February next year to cook for the working retreat or for the duration of the course (April to July). 

As well as a cook we also have a vacancy for a guest master / housekeeper. Again we are looking for an Order member and again would consider people joining us for short periods as well as staying more longer term.

Please do consider joining us. If you would like to know more then please do contact me at maniraja@mac.com

Today was a delightful day here at Guhyaloka. The community began the day at 9 this morning setting up for the Public Ordinations. Two things needed to happen. One was to make sure we had plenty of food and refreshments to see us through the day. The second was to set up the shrine room. Ahead of schedule the conch was blown and the  Public Ordinations could begin. As Maitreyabandhu said. What better way could we celebrate Buddha Day. Pictures of the new Order members are up on Facebook . The private preceptors will be leaving us tomorrow. The retreat will then settle down to a closed three month Order retreat.
