The spiritual and existential act of Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels finds full expression in the ceremony of ordination. At that time, Going for Refuge is fully witnessed and you are received into the Triratna Buddhist Order – it is crucial that you have some understanding of what the Order is before you are ordained.
On this retreat, through a series of talks, Padmavajra will explore his understanding of what it is. He will explore such things as the origins of the Order, the place of Sangharakshita, private and public preceptors, the Order and the Transcendental, and many other things too.

Coming on a retreat at Padmaloka is a step into another way of being, where we temporarily take up a way of life that is more supportive of Buddhist Practice. We go forth from our ordinary circumstances, our comforts and distractions so that we can discern and move towards our ideals and help others to do so as well.When booking a retreat at Padmaloka it is important to get a sense of how you will be living here - what our customs, etiquettes and requirements for being on retreat are.
