It not only provides an opportunity to study the Dhamma but also plays a significant role in the spiritual life of Buddhists, preserving and strengthening traditions that have been the foundation of Sri Lanka\u2019s cultural heritage for centuries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Founded in 2018 under the guidance of <a href=\"https:\/\/chittaviveka-monastery-11272da.ingress-alpha.ewp.live\/en\/teacher\/\" target=\"_self\">Abbot Bhante Rakwane Gnanaseeha Thero<\/a>, the monastery strives to create an environment for the in-depth study and practice of the Buddha\u2019s teachings for both monks and laypeople. It is especially dedicated to Russian-speaking practitioners who do not know foreign languages, providing them with the opportunity to study and practice Buddhism in a familiar linguistic environment. This is particularly important for elderly Buddhists and the parents of monks and lay practitioners, who may find it difficult to adapt to monasteries where a different language is spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1020 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_20230209_170432-850x638.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<br \/>\n\n\n<section id=\"goals\">\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Goals and Main Activities of the Monastery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The name \"Chittaviveka\" translates as \"<a href=\"https:\/\/chittaviveka-monastery-11272da.ingress-alpha.ewp.live\/en\/article\/bhavana-the-art-of-the-mind-en\/viveka-rest\/\" target=\"_self\">Rest of the Mind<\/a>\" or \"Liberation of the Mind.\" This reflects the monastery\u2019s primary goal\u2014to create conditions for the practice of meditation and the study of the Dhamma, helping practitioners attain inner peace and freedom from suffering<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its founding, Chittaviveka Monastery has been actively developing and fulfilling several important missions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Dhamma Study and Practice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monastery provides an opportunity for both monks and laypeople to study the Dhamma and practice meditation under the guidance of a Russian-speaking Sinhalese monk.

In addition to teachings in Russian, Dhamma talks and instructional sessions are also conducted in Sinhala and English. This creates an inclusive environment for communication and shared practice, benefiting both local residents and international Buddhist practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-912\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-99-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-912 ml-slider ms-theme-default-base has-dots-nav\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Monks\" data-width=\"1280\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_912\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_912\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block;

Mr. Koore donated one acre of land near Victoria Reservoir to Venerable Bandarawela Gnanasiri. In 2018, he, in turn, offered this land to Bhante Rakwane Gnanaseeha, who accepted the gift and made this place his refuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, the land had only a single small house. Bhante Nyanasiha lived there in solitude, going for pindapata (alms round), dedicating his time to practice and study.

Thus, Chittaviveka Monastery became a place that unites Buddhist practitioners seeking spiritual growth in their native linguistic environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, the monastery has expanded significantly, thanks to the support of the honorable Sri Lankan army and the generosity of Russian-speaking donors. Their contributions have played a crucial role in constructing new buildings, improving infrastructure, and creating a space for spiritual practice that is accessible to both monks and lay practitioners. In the beginning, the monastery had only one old house, but now it has monks' kutis (huts), meditation paths, an open meditation hall, and a dining hall (Dana Sala). Currently, 12 monks reside in the monastery, 9 of whom are Russian-speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-977\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-99-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-977 ml-slider hide-navigation-smartphone ms-theme-default-base has-dots-nav\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Development\" data-width=\"1280\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_977\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_977\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block;

The first step is to complete the second and third floors above the Dana Sala, where it is planned to create space for up to 20 wooden tent-like bungalows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"914\" src=\"https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bungalow_example.jpg\"><br>Example of bungalow houses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cozy mini-bungalows will be equipped with all the necessary amenities: a bed, a wardrobe, a table, and a chair. Thanks to this, the monastery will be able to hold retreats on its own territory and accommodate more practitioners. In addition, it will become possible to organize multi-day Buddhist practice retreats for local residents. At the moment, due to the lack of such infrastructure, the monastery has to rent spaces in other retreat centers, which limits the possibility of holding retreats more than once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide a clear visualization, a layout plan for placing these bungalows on the roof of the Dana Sala is being developed. This will help convey the project's vision to all interested parties and potential benefactors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chittaviveka Monastery continues to grow and develop, striving to create favorable conditions for everyone who wishes to immerse themselves in the Buddha\u2019s teachings and deepen their practice in an atmosphere of peace and seclusion. The monastery warmly invites all those who wish to contribute to its development to join this meaningful endeavor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next important stage in the monastery\u2019s development is the completion of the second floor above the Dana Sala (dining hall) and the arrangement of small residential spaces for practitioners. This will allow the monastery to accommodate more people wishing to study the Dhamma, including both foreign Buddhist followers and Sri Lankan residents, as well as to hold more retreats. At present, we do not have enough space and are forced to rent facilities in other centers, which limits our opportunities. Your support for this project will be a significant contribution to the preservation and development of the country's Buddhist traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Buddhist tradition, giving (d\u0101na) is an important practice that brings great merit. Supporting the monastery is not just assistance in construction but also a contribution to the spread of the Buddha\u2019s teachings. Your help will allow us to create conditions for those seeking the path to liberation from suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-946\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-99-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-946 ml-slider ms-theme-default-base has-dots-nav\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Pindapata\" data-width=\"1280\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_946\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_946\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block;

It will allow for more comfortable travel, which is especially important for long trips, such as to Colombo. The monks also need to travel there from time to time. For example, yesterday, Bhante Nyanasiha and Bhante Vangisa made a round trip to Colombo. Additionally, a car offers greater capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great piece of news\u2014one of the donors has expressed readiness to cover the remaining amount needed to purchase a car worth up to 4 million rupees (\u2248 1.2 million rupees, \u2248 $13,530)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the full amount for the vehicle for Cittaviveka has been raised and sent to Sri Lanka today.

After two weeks of intense heat, nature finally received the long-awaited rain, which continued into this morning. Despite the rain, following the ancient tradition, we set out for pindapata.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to the monastery in our soaked robes, we were pleasantly surprised to meet four young visitors from a nearby village. These boys, as it turned out, had been observing our daily alms rounds for quite some time. Believing that the monastery housed only two monks, they had been gathering the courage to visit us for a while. And today, seeing us in the rain, they finally decided not only to come to the monastery but also to offer dana.<\/p>\n<p>In the warm atmosphere of the monastery, bhante Animitta gave them a special Dhamma talk (Dhamma desana), revealing the deep meaning and significance of making offerings to the Bhikkhu Sangha. He explained how such actions generate wholesome merit and help sustain the continuity of the Buddhist teachings.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the joyful faces of the boys as they listened to the Dhamma, we were once again convinced of the wisdom of this ancient tradition, which naturally connects the Sangha and laypeople, creating favorable conditions for the spread of the Buddha\u2019s teachings. It not only supports the monks but also provides an opportunity for laypeople to encounter the Dhamma, perform wholesome deeds, and begin their journey toward Liberation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-1061\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-99-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-1061 ml-slider ms-theme-default-base has-dots-nav\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Dana by kids\" data-width=\"1280\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_1061\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_1061\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-1066 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2025-02-27 10:47:43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/photo_2025-02-27_05-47-08-1280x850.jpg\" height=\"850\" width=\"1280\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-1061 slide-1066 msDefaultImage\" title=\"Dana to Chittaviveka monastery by 4 kind\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-1067 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2025-02-27 10:47:43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/photo_2025-02-27_05-47-16-1280x850.jpg\" height=\"850\" width=\"1280\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-1061 slide-1067 msDefaultImage\" title=\"Dana to Chittaviveka monastery by 4 kind\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-1068 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2025-02-27 10:47:43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/photo_2025-02-27_05-47-20-1280x850.jpg\" height=\"850\" width=\"1280\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-1061 slide-1068 msDefaultImage\" title=\"Dana to Chittaviveka monastery by 4 kind\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-1069 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2025-02-27 10:47:43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/samatha-vipassana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/photo_2025-02-27_05-48-25-1280x850.jpg\" height=\"850\" width=\"1280\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-1061 slide-1069 msDefaultImage\" title=\"Dana to Chittaviveka monastery by 4 kind\" \/><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>January 23, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dear Friends,<br \/>On February 2nd this year, a meditation retreat in Russian will take place in Sri Lanka under the guidance of meditation teacher Bhante Gnanaseeha, whom many of you are already familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>Participation in the retreat is completely free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, several such retreats have been successfully held in previous years.

Today, 2 acres of land (8093 sq. meters), which we all contributed to acquiring, have been presented to Chittaviveka Monastery. The full amount required was paid to the previous owner, and all necessary documents have been signed. This land now belongs to the Sangha!<\/p>\n<p>The first payment of 4.1 million rupees was made on June 19, and today we paid the remaining 3.9 million, as well as taxes and legal fees (an additional 700,000 rupees). The total cost of the land was approximately 8 million rupees ($24,571).<\/p>\n<p>This has been a wonderful donation involving over 150 people from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>We share the merit of this donation with all living beings!<br \/>May these merits help us to quickly attain Nibb\u0101na!<br \/>May the power of the merits we have accumulated support the development and flourishing of the monastery, and may it always have all the conditions necessary for the successful practice of Dhamma!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/UsxbrPsi76E5REP5A\">Photos and videos<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>May 26, 2023<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Recently, a 2-acre plot of land adjacent to the monastery was put up for sale. The price for one acre is 4,000,000 rupees ($13,230 or 1,060,000 rubles at the current exchange rate). This presents a great opportunity for expanding the monastery. However, since this land is situated in a scenic location with views of Victoria Reservoir, there is a concern that it might be sold for the construction of a hotel or other recreational facilities, which could disrupt the serene tranquility of the area. We, the lay supporters of the monastery, plan to purchase and present this land to the Sangha.<\/p>\n<p>Update: The purchase and donation have been completed.<\/p>\n<p><style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0
