| Description: | Bhavana House, a Dhamma (Dharma) sanctuary in the old north of Tel Aviv, was established as a private initiative, which derived from the understanding that Israel, as a place of continuing existential conflict and tension, is an optimal place for practising the meditative approach to life. Its aim was to offer an urban center that allows ongoing teaching, inquiry and practice of the Buddhist path within the community in daily life. Bhavana House is a Regional Centre of the World Fellowship of Buddhists (WFB) in Israel.
The centre offers appropriate conditions for meditation and study, and facilitates:
- Silent contemplation
- Meditation courses for beginners
- Sitting groups within extensive courses
- Dhamma lessons and readings from Buddhist texts
- Individual meetings and instruction
- Weekend - Retreats
- The use of books in the study room
- Accommodation for Dhamma teachers and monks from Israel and abroad
Bhavana House welcomes experienced and beginning meditators from diverse Buddhist traditions. Its activities are not-for-profit, and are made possible by the generosity and donation (DANA) of participants.
