Description of the Retreat

Na Uyana is a Buddhist forest monastery at Pansiyagama, Melsiripura, in Sri Lanka’s Kurunegala district. Its grounds extend over more than 5,000 acres in the Dummiya mountain range.

The monastery describes year-round meditation practice alongside a monthly group programme focused on monks and nuns. Resident lay practitioners may also benefit from those monthly programmes. Meditation instructions are available in Sinhala, English and Chinese.

Visits require prior permission and confirmation of accommodation. Foreign meditators should use the monastery’s official application form before arranging a stay. The monastery allocates accommodation across its associated residences: lay men at Na Uyana and Dharmayathanaya, and lay women at Dhammikashramaya and Sudhammikashramaya. Confirm the allocated residence, daily timetable and current visitor rules directly with the monastery.

Teacher/Teachings

Meditation Na Uyana is one of the two principal meditation monasteries of the Śrī Kalyāṇī Yogāśrama Saṃsthā. The main meditation method taught is Pa-Auk Samatha Vipassana, and the senior meditation teacher is Ven. Ariyananda Thera. Practitioners may join the group sittings conducted in the two main meditation halls, or continue on their own in their individual kuṭis.
