Kamalashila (1949-2024) was a lifelong member of the Triratna Community, and taught meditation since his ordination in 1974. He was a founder of Vajraloka Retreat Centre in Wales. He also had connections with Buddhafield, a land-based Buddhist collective running retreats and festivals, and the West London Buddhist Centre.
Kamalashila settled in London after many years exploring Dharma practice in rural and wilderness retreats, during which (to give one example) he spent a year and a half alone in a tent in Southwest Wales. The biographical section of his website gives his life story, and also shares Kamalashila’s writing, teaching material and links to his many guided meditations.
