This ordination training weekend will culminate in the sending forth ceremony of those men who have been invited to attend the 2022 Guhyaloka ordination retreat.

To provide an inspirational background for this ceremony, we will be exploring the crucial themes of Going Forth, renunciation, striving and commitment. We will do this by exploring two of the oldest Buddhist texts from the life of the Buddha: the suttas on Going Forth and the Striving.
