Enjoy a meaningful start to the new year with the Madhyamaka community
Join us on December 31st for an inspiring talk with Gen Kelsang Chö, followed by candlelit 24 hour Tara chanting to see in the New Year.
This year we will be launching our special programme, 50 Events for 50 Years, to celebrate  50 years of Venerable Geshe-la’s kindness.
Who is Buddha Tara?
Tara is a female Buddha, a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all the Buddhas. These chanted prayers, called Liberation from Sorrow, include the blessed prayer Praises to the Twenty-one Tarascomposed by Buddha. Each of the Twenty-one Taras is a manifestation of the principal Tara, Green Tara.
If we rely upon Mother Tara sincerely and with strong faith she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfil all our wishes. Since she is a wisdom Buddha, and since she is a manifestation of the completely purified wind element, Tara is able to help us very quickly.
Everyone is welcome to join us for this special alternative event to celebrate the New Year.
£25 for the evening, which will include a light buffet and non-alcoholic refreshments.
Breakfast and lunch on January can also be booked as extras.

What people say
Definitely my calm amidst the storm of life. I don’t need to do anything other than walk in the grounds (and breathe) to know that every storm runs out of energy eventually… absolutely could not have got myself through the past 12 months without regular visits.
A very special place to come and re charge. Amazing grounds, people and fantastic food served like clock work. Massive thanks to all the residents and working visitors for making my stay so enjoyable.
