The Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre

Some people prefer secluded or lonely places for calm meditation. As the Centre is always busy in with organizing different programs, it can become quite noisy. Therefore the Centre provides small meditation cells for single persons within the Mahabodhi Campus. The following facilities are also provided:

7 melarepa individual meditation cells
Dedicated and positive meditation teachers
Dependent on numbers, Meditation Trekking Retreats (5 to 7 days) are conducted. These are held from mid May to till the end of September. In Sham, the Meditation trekking retreat starts from Liker to the Vipassana Valley in Tingmosgang Village. Between these two points, pass many villages like Yangthang, Rizdon Monastery, Himesshukpachan and Tseskarma Gonpa. The trek offers views of streams, snow capped mountains, rocks and passes.

Mahabodhi Vipassana Valley and the School is three (3) kilometres away from the main city of Tingmosgang village. If anyone wishes to stay on at the Mahabodhi Vipassana valley for meditation and visiting the village, this can be arranged, as we have facilities available to cater for visitors.

The costs for the trek are :

USD 100 (covers costs of Teacher cum Guide, Cook, Pony man and other necessities)
USD 60 (covers Guide, and Pony man)

Income thus generated from the trek is deployed for maintenance of the on-going projects or for starting a new project. Trekkers thus enjoy their trek with an experience as well as contribute to Mahabodhi and accrue merits for their altruism.
