Adhisthana Dharma Training Course for Men
14th September 2015 to 29th January 2016
This intensive course aims to offer a thorough grounding in the principles and practices of Triratna Buddhism, with about a quarter of the time spent in retreat conditions, and will be taught by various experienced Order members. It is fully residential, with the students sharing rooms in a designated community at Adhisthana. We don’t want anyone to be deterred through lack of funds, so the charge is as little as £1600 all in, though this is a subsidized rate and people will be asked to pay more if they can. For more information contact Vidyaruchi: vidyaruchi [at] yahoo.co.uk
