Realising the Vision
A perfect site for a beautiful endeavour
The first thing we need to do is to locate and purchase a suitable site for the Institute. We are working with local councils to gain their support.
We have recently identified a beautiful site in the Welsh countryside, that would make a suitable home for the Institute. You can read more about it here.
Community fundraising and due diligence work are taking place to ensure our plans are robust as we look to acquire the property and begin to transform it into a functioning dharma institution and retreat centre.
Designing a place of lasting beauty
Once we have acquired a site, we will appoint a design team and liaise closely with the local community so that our proposals have the support of the people who live nearby.
Building the vision in stages
Due to the scale of the project, development is likely to take several years. We will begin by converting and renovating existing buildings to allow dharma activities to begin on site as soon as possible.
Full realisation
Once renovation and construction of the main buildings are complete, the programme of dharma activities at the Mikyo Dorje Institute will include prayers and pujas, major teaching events, meditation classes and retreats.
'May the work we are about to begin meet with ever growing fulfilment and success and bring good fortune, prosperity, happiness and peace!'
