the Meditation Space – our Shrine room
Ten years ago, we acquired Suryavana, the Triratna retreat centre located an hour from Valencia. The country house, set in peaceful environment, is easily accessible and has all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay: bedrooms, a kitchen, bathrooms, and even a swimming pool.
However, over the years, we have faced a significant challenge—the lack of a permanent space for meditation. For every retreat, we must rearrange the spaces to accommodate what is essential in our practice: listening to the Dharma, studying the Dharma, and meditating on the Dharma. The true heart of a Triratna retreat centre is still missing—a shrineroom.
To address this situation, we have set up a temporary shrineroom in the house next to the farmhouse. While it provides a comfortable space for about thirty people, we recognize that it is only a temporary solution.
Therefore, our intention is to build a beautiful shrineroom in the courtyard behind the kitchen—a protected space that will facilitate transformation for all who visit Suryavana. We are currently exploring possibilities with an architect and working with the local authorities to obtain the necessary permits. We envision a shrineroom, featuring an inspiring shrine, storage space, and enough room for around sixty people to meditate comfortably.
We would like to secure the funds by mid-2026 so we can begin construction.
El Centro de Retiros Suryavana es un proyecto que nació de una iniciativa del Centro Budista de Valencia que ha adquirido identidad propia. Suryavana es un proyecto, que al igual que el Centro Budista de Valencia, crea un contexto en el que todas las personas pueden contactar con la tradición espiritual que en Occidente se conoce como Budismo y aprovechar los beneficios que esta ofrece.
Nuestro centro es parte de un movimiento internacional fundado por Sangharákshita - la Comunidad Budista Triratna. En Triratna estamos comprometidos a practicar y presentar el Budismo de una manera apropiada para el mundo moderno. Dentro del movimiento Triratna estudiamos y practicamos aquellos aspectos del budismo que consideramos útiles para nuestro desarrollo. A la vez que permanecemos fieles a la tradición budista buscamos fuentes de inspiración fuera del Budismo, significando esto que no tenemos que abandonar nuestras raíces culturales cuando nos adentramos en el camino budista. Podemos apreciar y utilizar lo mejor de la cultura y el arte occidental como un puente de entendimiento a las enseñanzas budistas.
