THE PROPERTY

Dorje Ling Retreat Centre (previously Illusion Farm) is located in the beautiful and secluded Lorinna Valley in the heart of Tasmania, in the mountains not far from the Cradle Mountain World Heritage Park.

We have a Google Map on our site so that you can find your way to the property. There is also a sketch plan available.

The Centre is situated on 48 acres of native forest and parklands, and includes a beautiful hexagonal log meditation building, a recently upgraded kitchen/dining building, a caretaker's/manager's house, a self-contained long-term retreat house/teacher's residence, a new solar-powered shower system, and several retreat huts. The property is serviced by both solar power and a small hydro-elecric system, and it also has ample space for camping. Situated above a lake and bounded by forested hills, this peaceful sanctuary has a healing power which has been recognised by all who have meditated here.

The TCDF gratefully acknowledges the support of the Tasmanian Community Fund which funded the installation of a hydro-electric power system on the property to supplement the existing solar power system.

Quote from our teacher, Zasep Tulku Rinpoche:

‘‘There are numerous benefits that mindfulness of breathing meditation can have.

‘‘The ultimate benefit is enlightenment and perfect samadhi. There are also many temporary benefits. You will have proper breathing patterns, better health and you will begin to be more mindful, have more energy and inner peace.’’
