venerable Dhammadipa will have a meditation course in Shanta Vana, Czech Republic at the end of August 8.28. – 9.5. Venerable will lecture in Czech language.
Our dear friends from Hong Kong donated a beautiful wooden statue of Meitreya Buddha to Shanta Vana. We send you many thanks and hope to meet you here soon at Shanta Vana. All meditators are welcome to Shanta Vana. Unfortunately, we still have a covid lock down in the Czech Republic now. But we believe that the situation will change and soon it will be possible to meditate together here.
Many thanks to Somaiya University in Mumbai for organizing and sharing with us Venerable Dhammadipa’s online lectures “Kumarajiva’s Meditation Manual”. The series of lectures begins on February 3. Venerable will lecture in English. Venerable is currently lecturing on the same topic in Czech language, but these lectures in English will be more detailed.

Thanks to our friend Tzuyi Hsu (Shinko), who stayed in Shanta Vana for a long time and taught us chi-kung in Bhante courses. She has been studying Chinese medicine and other healing modalities for many years. Now we are happy to share with you a link to the Facebook page where she posts information that may help us to walk on the spiritual path.
Thank you University Buddhist Association in Oklahoma for sharing Bhante’s lectures with us. Bhante lectured online there. The first three lectures are in the archive. Two more lectures will follow in January and February.
we have the good news for those of you who want to devote a longer period of time to meditation. For this purpose, we managed to complete the reconstruction of the former forestry. House stands on a lonely clearing in the middle of the forest about a ten-minute walk from the main houses of Shanta Vana and creates really good conditions for intensive practice. There are two small and two larger rooms, a hall, a kitchen, two bathrooms and two toilets. The building is fully equipped.
At present, Venerable Dhammadipa’s remains at the center for a longer time and can provide guidance to the meditators.
The date and length of the meditation stay should be consulted with Venerable. If you are interested, contact us at office@dhammadipa.org. More information about Shanta Vana is on the website dhammadipa.cz/en/shanta-vana/.
máme, pro ty z vás, kteří chtějí meditaci věnovat delší časový úsek, radostnou zprávu. Podařilo se nám k tomuto účelu dokončit rekonstrukci bývalé hájenky. Hájenka stojí na osamělé mýtince uprostřed lesa asi deset minut chůze od dosud hlavní chalupy Shanta Vany a vytváří opravdu dobré podmínky pro intenzivní praxi. Jsou v ni dva maličké a dva větší pokojíky, hala, kuchyň, dvě koupelny a dvě toalety. Objekt je plně vybaven.
V současné době lze využít i dlouhodobého vynuceného pobytu Bhanteho Dhammadipy, který může poskytnout meditujícím vedení.
Datum a délku meditačního pobytu je třeba konzultovat s Bhantem Dhammadipou. V případě zájmu nás kontaktujte na office@dhammadipa.org. Více informací o Shanta Vana je na webových stránkách dhammadipa.cz/shanta-vana/.
