Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We're raising money for the Tiratanaloka bursary, to help women train for ordination into the Western Buddhist Order by coming on retreat to study here.  The retreat centre is self-funding - we don't receive any outside or central assistance - and at present we're just about breaking even so it's not possible for us to fund places on retreats ourselves.

However last year, thanks to generous donations by supporters,  we were able to give over £3000 to help 21 women with their retreat costs.  Who knows what effect it will have on the world in the long run!  Talking of long runs(!) some of us thought we'd combine our wish to get fit with raising a bit of money, hence this web page.  You can be assured we'll all be putting in some sweat to get to the end of that 10k on 27th September.
