Meditation Garden

We have created next to our yoga shala a garden for quiet contemplation, fire ceremony and other ritual practices, as well as meditation sessions.

At its entrance sits a Thai celestial figure, Phrathep, surrounded by water. The heart of the garden hosts a large bodhi tree, the peepul tree the Buddha sat under with a determination to reach enlightenment. Nearby is a large pond with some of the largest and most magnificent lotuses.

At the edge of the garden is a small sala for the specific use of performing "Yajna." Here, on many occasions, we conduct fire ceremony, a practice which ignites an extremely positive charge into the earth and surrounding vibration.

You are also welcome to enjoy this garden for your own private sitting and contemplation.
