Nestled
on the top of a tea estate, bordered by a pine forest and a virgin
rain forest, with no electricity and any such modern facilities,
Nilambe Meditation centre offers a great opportunity to anyone to go
deeper in search of peace and solitude. Nilambe
Meditation centre is located close enough to the city of Kandy and yet
far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. The centre it can be classified
as non sectarian. In the evening there is a short chanting session of
Lord Buddha, which many choose to participate or just listen, before
beginning the last session of Meditation for the day.
Going by
the concept, that ultimate discipline is achieved by ultimate freedom,
the programme here looks very free, yet the responsibility to adhere to it and benefit from the stay is totally in the hand of the visitor.
Nilambe
is ideally suited for the self explorers who want to find out what
meditation is, and as well as to the serious meditators who wish to
deepen their practice at his/her own pace.
This is an ideal place to practice meditation, for a maditator who knows how to meditate, and most visitors find as such. Since, the instructions given here amounts to discussing of problems one faces, it amounts to counseling or psychoanalysis rather than Samadi or Vipassana meditation. Yogi Anurada.
