Sri Subodha International Retreat Centre
Sri Subodha Meditation
Centre is located in the hill country of Sri Lanka, surrounded by the green
misty mountains creating the serene Valley, Ambuluwawa. This valley is located in Gampola, about about
8km from the town of Peradeniya. The
location is surrounded by natural water streams, fruit plantations and natural
green vegetation. The climate is cool
and pleasantly refreshing throughout the year.
The Centre is a perfect retreat for those who want to meditate and study the Buddhist teachings in a modern, yet serene environment. Accommodation is available for up to 30 participants at any given time and is suitable for both male and female participants. Stay periods range from short stays to up to 20 days with all vegetarian meals provided by the centre. During certain times of the year, meditation retreats will be organized and will be available for the participants. The program caters for a wide range of interests which includes meditation in both Samatha and Vipassana traditions, Dharma discussions, personal counselling sessions as well as more traditional Pali chanting and the undertaking of Theravada Buddhist practice.
Places are open to people with varying degrees of experience with meditation and retreats, such as this. It is highly recommended that foreign visitors purchase travel insurance for the duration of their stay in Sri Lanka.
