Guhyaloka, the men’s ordination retreat centre in the south of Spain, exists to support this vision of ordination. Since its inception in the mid-80’s - when a group of pioneering men volunteered to build it - more than six hundred men have been ordained there.

But Guhyaloka needs help.

The kitchen/dining area is not fit for purpose, the accommodation needs to be expanded and improved, and we need to build a new inspirational shrine room that expresses ordination’s visionary meaning.

This April the London Buddhist Centre is hosting a week-long series of fundraising events including talks, discussion, candlelit dinners, live music, a triathlon, and a ceilidh. (There are even rumours of a return of The Three Cafe’s Challenge).
