Dekanduwala Meditation Centre
Inquiries and bookings should be made through: Buddhist Cultural Centre, 125 Anderson
Road, Nedimala, Dehiwala. This is a newer Vipassana centre catering mainly to Sri
Lankan meditators. English and Sinhala are both spoken by the monk-in-charge, and
foreign meditators are welcome. Transport regularly leaves the BCC in Dehiwala (outskirts
of Colombo) to go to the meditation centre, and the BCC should be able to arrange
an interview with the teacher beforehand should this be required. The meditation
centre is also accessible by bus from Colombo. The centre is under the direction
of Ven. K Wimalajothi.
