Artist for Tiratanaloka Unlimited

By akasajoti on Sun, 17 Aug, 2025 - 20:03

To create an iconography that expresses Buddhist values in the modern world will take 200 years. (Aloka)

Could you be a part of this creation?

Tiratanaloka’s new shrine room will be the focal point of the whole retreat centre supporting the Bodhisattva aspirations of thousands of women now and into the future.

We are looking for an experienced artist to work with us to express our vision for this space.

We would love to see your portfolio to help us find the right person to work with...

Letter from the College of Public Preceptors- June

By vajratara on Sun, 1 Jun, 2025 - 00:00

This month’s letter comes from Vajratara, one of the Deputy Chair’s of the College: Vajratara came across Triratna in 1995 in South London and knew she found what she had been searching for - a vision of human potential, a path of transformation and a community to practice with. After studying Philosophy and Religious Studies at Leeds University and running the University Buddhist Society, she moved to Sheffield, lived in community and worked in Windhorse:evolution. She joined the Order in Sheffield,...

Chair's Letter – May 2024

Dear Order Members and friends,

Thanks to Purna for his evocative letter last month from Sudarshanaloka, the ‘land of beautiful vision’, in New Zealand; I’m very much looking forward to being there for the first time in a few months.

A few weeks ago I was at another of our retreat centres: Akashavana, ‘the forest retreat of luminous space’, in Spain. It was an informal visit as I hadn’t been there for many years and wanted to connect with...

Chair's Letter – March 2024

Correction:

In my March letter from the College, I wrote that ‘My Relation to the Order was the second in what Bhante intended to be a series of three reflections, the first being The History of My Going for Refuge… the third … being completed by Subhuti as Extending the Hand of Fellowship.’ Kalyanaprabha has pointed out to me that this is inaccurate, as all three texts were originally written by Bhante as papers and were delivered to the gathered Order...

Chair's Letter – January 2024

Dear Order members and friends,

December and January were relatively quiet months for me. Zoom meetings and emails tend to ease up over the festive season and I was able to spend two weeks in Wales doing house repairs and having some time to myself as well as catching up with family; it was my mother’s 95th birthday in early January.

The women’s Area Order weekend back at the beginning of December – which...

TIRATANALOKA [UNLIMITED]: Breaking News

By Subhadramati on Wed, 22 Nov, 2023 - 15:59

I was absolutely astounded by Karunadhi’s phone-call telling me that the Windhorse Trust was giving Tiratanaloka Unlimited half-a-million pounds! She had to say it twice before it sank in. Then I burst into tears of our gratitude. What an affirmation to all of us - to all of you who believe so deeply in this project. And it’s a massive leap forward for our fundraising. This brings our new total to over one million pounds, which means we’re...

Chair's Letter – September 2023

Dear Order Members and friends,

As I write, the public ordinations of five women – two from Venezuela and three from Mexico – are taking place at Adhisthana in context of pilgrimage retreat for Spanish speakers; welcome to Varamaitri, Akasadhi, Silabhadri, Parashanti and Chandrakanti. The theme of pilgrimage has been growing, as Adhisthana celebrates its tenth anniversary. Parami invited me to join the retreat one evening for an informal conversation about the search for, and early days at, Adhisthana,...

Tiratanaloka is on the market!

By karunadhi on Fri, 28 Jul, 2023 - 13:58

Tiratanaloka retreat centre came into being with the purchase of Aberclydach House at the end of 1994. This project was brought to fruition by five senior dharmacharinis - Samata, Dhammadinna, Anjali, Anoma and Sanghadevi - who in 1992 got together to develop a sustainable process for women who had asked for ordination.

Tiratanaloka as an ordination training centre has been a huge success, to the point where we have now outgrown our space. We are currently very limited in regard to...
