16 - 18 May 2025
Led By: Vidyamani, Akasharaja, Amoghamitra, Jayamaitri, Moksaka, Moksanita, Prashrabdhi, Upayalila
For: Sangha

Kshanti is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful words in the whole vocabulary of Buddhism It means forbearance, but also included is the idea of gentleness, of humility… and kshanti also contains very definite overtones of love, even compassion, of tolerance, of acceptance, and receptivity.”
Sangharakshita

Following on from last year’s Four Sanghas weekend on Virya, this year we will be taking as our theme virya’s companion quality, Kshanti. Patience, gentleness, openness, acceptance, receptivity, the antidote to anger. Join us to explore how this quality can free us from negative mental states and bring peace in our lives.

This retreat is ONLY for people who regularly attend Chester, West Wales, Llangollen and Shrewsbury Triratna Sanghas. All genders welcome. Please note that during this retreat a new office will be being built (on the opposite side of the carpark to the retreat centre). There will be some noise.

Paying for your retreat

Taraloka runs on generosity.

To book a retreat you pay a booking fee. This is the only charge made for coming on retreat. As far as possible, we don’t want anyone’s financial situation to stop them from coming to Taraloka.

At the end of your retreat, you have the opportunity to give money towards Taraloka. If you are able to donate, you are giving to another person who otherwise could not afford to come on retreat. And you are helping to give the gift of Taraloka to the women of the future.

We have suggested donations as these reflect the basic income needed to make a retreat viable. However, they are only suggestions. It is genuinely fine to give ten times these amounts, nothing, or anything in between.

Running on generosity is radical – thank you for being part of that.
