Dhanakosa Buddhist Retreat

The mission of Dhanakosa is to support the practice of the Buddha’s teachings by providing retreats that encompass both traditional and contemporary approaches to Buddhist practice.

Dhanakosa Buddhist Retreat Center works under the auspices of the Triratna Buddhist Order.

History of Dhanakosa

Originally a hotel, Dhanakosa (then known as Ledcreich) was acquired by the Glasgow Buddhist centre by lease hold in 1992. We began holding retreats in September of that same year. In 2002, the Dhanakosa Trust was founded and was able to buy the property with the support of a loan from Triodos Bank.

We are a registered Scottish charity (no. SCO32776) and the day-to-day running of the centre is undertaken by a resident team overseen by a board of trustees.

Since its first retreat in 1992, Dhanakosa has adhered to a payment by donation financial model (see dana economy for more information). We continue to be secure and able to invest in the continued improvement of our facilities and teaching, for all to enjoy, for many years to come.

Dhanakosa Buddhist Retreat Centre offers a wide range of retreats including yoga, hillwalking, Tai Chi, arts and alternative health, all complementing a programme of introductory meditation teaching. Additionally, there are meditation and Buddhist study retreats designed for those with a more regular practice.

Dhanakosa is beautifully situated in the southern part of the Scottish highlands in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, and this setting provides ideal conditions for retreats.
