Located on fourteen acres of woodland and bordered by the winding Piscassic river, Aryaloka is a tranquil refuge in the heart of the Seacoast Region of New Hampshire. Since its founding in 1985, Aryaloka has been a place of spiritual discovery. We are a community dedicated to the study, practice and communication of Buddhist teachings.
We are part of the Triratna Buddhist Community - an international modern Buddhist movement, with centers, communities and projects all over the world. Aryaloka offers a great mix of classes, workshops and retreats on meditation, mindfulness, yoga, Dharma study, and ethical lifestyle topics such as vegetarian cooking.

What Is Triratna
Report
Aryaloka Buddhist Center is part of the Triratna Buddhist Community (TBC), an international Buddhist movement of centers, communities, ethical businesses and social projects. The TBC was founded in London in 1967 by the Venerable Urgyen Sangharakshita (1925-2018) as The Friends of the Western Buddhist Order.
Teachers
Report
Although we have several visiting teachers every year, many of our events at Aryaloka are facilitated by local members of our Order. In Triratna, we do not have a guru; rather, we lead together, working in the spirit of consensus and from the initial vision of our founder Urgyen Sangharakshita. We value spiritual friendship and the value of peer support, while also acknowledging that some of us have more experience than others.
Spiritual Vitality Council
Report
Aryaloka's Spiritual Vitality Council is composed of senior members of the Triratna Buddhist Order entrusted to ensure that Aryaloka's teaching and programs effectively communicate the Dharma, and reflect the perspective of the Triratna Buddhist Community. The SVC ensures that Aryaloka's classes, programs and retreats appeal to a broad range of Buddhist practitioners, from beginners to long-time Order Members.
