Vision

We encourage and support everyone who wants to discover and develop his own spirituality. According to the buddhist way of life we teach how to be in harmony with our environment, how to develop a peaceful state of mind and how to master our everyday life with ease. 

Our goals

Spiritually successful – in balance with our daily routines. “ The buddhist way of life“

After being enlightened, Buddha lived for another 45 years. In those years he taught anyone who desired to develop inner comfort and balance, how to achieve a happy and sustainable life.
Refering to these 2500-years-old teachings, monk Bhante B. Samiddhi will instrtuct you on your way to inner freedom.

Meditation – in harmony with ourselves and with our environment

Step by step we learn how to calm our mind. With a little patience and practise we will soon achieve a state of physical and mental relaxation. We will be enabled to live a calm and simple life without despair. Wherever we will go , we can experience peace.
Meditation can also dispel our fear of death – after regular practise we will recognise the nature of reality and can release ourselves from various fears. More and more we will develop inner qualities.
The practise of meditation will result in kindness, compassion, wisdom as well as life-satisfaction.
Batuwangala Samiddhi teaches various kinds of meditation, so that everyone can find their own personal approach to it.

Cultivating buddhist tradition and cultural events

Buddhism is not solely a religion or philosophy but a way of life. There are a number of buddhist traditions such as Vesak in May when Buddhas birthday, enlightenment and death is honoured. Another festivity is the Kathina ceremony, in which the monks are given a new robe.
We attach value to cultivate and celebrate these traditions.

Consultation and spiritual care by an expereinced buddhist teacher

There are times when we feel lonely, desparate or afraid. A conversaton with an experienced teacher can contribute to restore our peace of mind.
