Taraloka
Bursary Fund for Dharma Teachers
For the first time, we are setting up a Taraloka Bursary Fund to help Dharmacharinis develop their Dharma teaching skills. The bursaries will be given out twice a year. In 2008, this will be in March and September. What we have in mind is:
- covering the cost of going on a retreat which would help your study or meditation teaching skills
- helping you to cover loss of income whilst being away leading a retreat
- helping with travel to the UK in order to lead retreats or support retreat teams here
- help with attending general training events that you think would help your Dharma teaching skillsi
For this first year of running the Fund we are generally looking for requests of up to £500 from any one individual. If you would like to be considered, all you have to do is send us your request and some information about how getting the bursary would help you.
We need those requests by 31 August 2008. Please send them to our Bursary
Secretary, Alokada, who
can also help with making a request.
This Bursary will receive on-going funding from Taraloka as part of the vision we have to support and invest in women Dharma Teachers. But you can also donate money to this fund (payable to FWBO Taraloka). Send in your donation and we will double any amount we receive!
The Bursary is also a mark of gratitude for all the generosity and support we have received from so many of you over the last twenty years or more. Thank you!
