Sudarshanaloka - Land of Beautiful Vision
The founding vision of Sudarshanaloka was to create conditions for the unfolding of human potential through the timeless and universal teachings of the Buddha; a place where meditation, reflection, Buddhist study, and a reverence for the living world could be explored and lived. To this end we are constructing a full-facility, multi-purpose retreat complex high in the Coromandel hills overlooking the Firth of Thames - Tikapa Moana.

With a capacity for up to 50 residents (including a limited mobility suite), a library and devotional spaces, this challenging, progressive and exciting project will provide a new and unique concept of growth and diversity not only for the local community but for the people of New Zealand and beyond.

As well as a Buddhist retreat facility, the Centre will be available for other community groups, corporations and agencies to run seminars and retreats, or a wide range of socially valuable programmes.

The Retreat Centre site provides breathtaking scenery and peaceful rural facilities for:

  • the teaching and practice of meditation
  • the study of Buddhist principles and ethics
  • the care and protection of our environment
  • creative renewal through periods of withdrawal from worldly routines

The first phase of the building is almost complete, but fundraising continues and we would welcome your donation. If you would like to be part of this exciting project, or would simply like more information we would love to hear from you at or phone (64) 7 868 5341.
