1. Visualizing the Sanctuary
Welcome to our visual gallery—a window into the serene life and natural beauty of the Urgyen Sangharakshita Retreat Centre. Nestled in the quiet valley of Warakwadi near Nanded, our centre is surrounded by green rolling hills, a tranquil nearby lake, and landscaped gardens featuring flowing fountains around the central Buddha statue. Through these photographs, you can explore our main meditation hall, the solitary meditation huts, and the sacred Ven. Sangharakshita Stupa.
2. Community & Practice in Action
Beyond our physical spaces, this gallery captures the vibrant spirit of Dhamma practice and community living. Here, you will see glimpses of retreat life in action—fellow practitioners engaging in group meditation, Dhamma study discussions, shared vegetarian meals in our 100-seat dining hall, and moments of quiet reflection amidst nature. Whether attending a youth gathering, an officers’ seminar, or an intensive Going For Refuge (GFR) retreat, these images reflect the joy, stillness, and spiritual friendship (Kalyanamitra) that define our sanctuary.
