Project Description

Donations appreciated for the renovations of the Sunshine Meditation Center (Mahamevnawa Florida).

We are renovating our meditation building and adding new facilities which will provide a larger meditation area and an alms-giving preparation area. These new areas will provide the necessary facilities for our devotees.

All activities at the monastery are free, and currently there is limited space for our devotees to practice meditation and other group activities (Group Meditation Programs, Vesak Ceremony, Katina Ceremony, and New Year Dhamma Program.) Our monastery building is spacious, but it is not well arranged. By removing and adding a few walls, we will have more space for our devotees to gather and join our Dhamma programs.

Current plans include:
-Moving monks’ meditation rooms to the other side of the building
-Renovate the Kitchen
-Renovate the Meditation Hall
-Renovate the Shrine Room
