The 4 Cafés Challenge
Dare to dream
Four Cafés Challenge
Ten years ago, sangha members climbed mountains to raise money for Vajrasana. But Maitreyabandhu and Jnanavaca wanted a real challenge: to do the impossible — visit three cafés in one day. Their daring and incredible stamina that day made them famous.
A decade on, they’re back. This time to raise money for ‘Guhyaloka for the Ages’. And this time — no challenge too great — they’ll take on four cafés, not three, despite health warnings from friends and professionals.
But a lot of coffee has gone under the bridge. Everything in the world has changed. Watch them here attempt the beyond-impossible. Become a Fan. Invite your friends, follow the adventure together.
We’ll be releasing their mission over six videos, one per week. We want to raise £5,000 so we can help build Guhyaloka’s new forest shrine room, including a new rupa of Vajrasattva. It will be at the heart of the shrine room for those on retreat there for years to come. That’s just £50 from 100 people to make it happen.
Please give generously.

4 Cafés, 3 Men, 2 Truths, 1 Day
Two grown men of considerable years and modest fitness have decided to visit four cafés. On foot. In sequence. They are calling it a “challenge”, which is generous.
There is no prize. There is no sponsorship deal. There is only tea, the open road, and a quiet determination that frankly none of their families can explain.
Every pound goes to Guhyaloka for the Ages. Every £50 gets us one step closer. Nobody is being paid — least of all in dignity.
