Ordinations at Taraloka

From Order Connection on Sun, 23 May, 2021 - 20:25

Dear Order Members,

I’m very happy to let you know that ten public ordinations took place at Taraloka this afternoon. This culminates the UK spring ordination retreats led by Subhadramati, Vajratara, Hridayagita and Danayutta from Taraloka over the last five weeks. The new order members did the retreat with their private preceptors at various locations in the UK with a full online retreat programme from Taraloka. We’re delighted that this was able to take place despite demanding conditions.
