Key Facts
- ◆ Founded in 1985, five years after Sukhavati, as the pivotal community for the women's wing of the FWBO.
- ◆ Ratnasuri, a founder member, went to India in 1987 aged 64 to conduct public ordinations on Sangharakshita's behalf.
- ◆ Sangharakshita attended Padmasambhava Day celebrations and ordination retreats here.
“The success of Sukhavati was in some sense, however, only half the story, being a single-sex project limited to men. It would take the creation of Taraloka Retreat Centre five years later to provide a similarly pivotal situation for the women’s wing of the Triratna Buddhist Community.”
