The Foundation's aim is to promote Buddhism and to build a new meditation centre at Shanta Vana, which also houses the residence of Venerable Dhammadipa. The centre will be for all Buddhist groups - in the spirit of the thesis of the founder of the foundation, Ct. Dhammadipa that there is only one Buddhism.

The Shanta Vana Center was founded by the revered meditation teacher Tomas Dhammadipa to create a space for the study and practice of Dharma and to practice the noble way of life with others.

Zen centre for spiritual practice in harmony with nature.
