We listen to you with care and kindness, helping you feel emotionally supported while teaching simple, practical ways to calm and steady the mind.

Understanding Non-Self (Anattā)

You are guided to understand the Buddhist insight of non-self—seeing the body and mind as a functioning mechanism rather than a fixed “self,” much like a robot recognising itself as a machine.

Foundations of Mindful Meditation

You learn the core of Buddhist meditation: becoming a clear observer of the body, sensations, thoughts, and moods without judgment or attachment.

"I feel really happy and peaceful after participating meditation retreats. I’ve learned so much about meditation and how to calm my mind. Before, I used to get upset easily, but now I know how to control my thoughts and focus on the present. The meditation master and community are very kind, and they make everything so easy to understand. I love the peaceful atmosphere here and the way we learn to be kind to others and ourselves. I’m excited to come back again and keep learning!"

Pasan Kulathunga

"As an education specialist, I am deeply impressed by the meditation’s approach to personal growth and well-being. The integration of mindfulness and meditation practices into their programs provides a holistic approach to education that goes beyond academic learning. The foundation’s focus on cultivating wisdom, mindfulness, and compassion is exactly what our modern world needs. The teachings here equip individuals with practical tools for overcoming stress, improving focus, and enhancing emotional intelligence. I highly commend the foundation for their invaluable work in supporting both personal and collective transformation."
