I had a wonderful stay in the Center. I was treated so well since day one. The food was FABULOUS. I could learn so much about Buddishm and meditation. I'm truly grateful for this experience. I recommended to everyone. Thank you so much to all the Bhantes, they're amazing people. I hope the best for all of them and to stay blessed ❤️🙏🏻

I spent 4 days at the monastery; it marked the end of my stay in Sri Lanka. It was the perfect way to return home feeling lighter, and its proximity to the airport made it very convenient. I taught a bit of English to the young monks and their driver; it was lovely to spend time with them... Bhante Vihari helped me gain a better understanding of Buddhism and guided me in my meditation. He was always helpful and thoughful, and introduced me to some lovely people and special places. I went in the weekend so I could attend Sunday school and take part in some interesting rituals, it was amazing!

Had some really wonderful unique experiences here. I'd go back again for the cricket games in the driveway, home cooked food, laid back afternoons spent reading, watching kingfishers fish from the trees in the backyard and evenings meditating. Thank you for the wonderful memories and opportunities to understand and connect. Until next time!

I had an absolutely amazing 5 days at the Center. From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed. During my stay I have learned so much about Buddhism, meditation and the Sri Lankan culture. What made my time truly special were the banthes. They were really kind, patient and welcoming. They really did their best to teach me and show me as much as possible about their culture, traditions and the daily Sri Lankan life. Thereby the accommodation was far beyond my expectations! My room was very specious, clean and comfortable. The food was also excellent. Would def recommend 😁
