Mahamevnawa International Meditation Centre UK is a world-reputed and well-established organization of Buddhist monasteries, inaugurated in 1999 in Sri Lanka by most Ven Kiribathgoda Gnananada Bhikku, for the purpose of spiritual development of the mankind in the Gautama Supreme Buddha's dispensation at the time of Supreme Buddha's true doctrine and teachings were hardly known or practised. The UK branch of Mahamevnawa was opened in 2009 under the guidance and advice by the most Ven Kiribathgodan Nananada Bhikku. This is the second overseas branch which has now been established in Billericay, Essex. Under the blessings and patronage of its founder and the chief monk, it is now serving the community by promoting loving kindness, compassion, and peace regardless of religion, in order to develop a peaceful world with the help of profound teachings of Supreme Buddha.
Positive feedback includes appreciation for the centre's peaceful atmosphere, beautiful facilities, and welcoming monks who provide valuable teachings on Buddhism and mindfulness.
Minor concerns about the need for more information on what to expect during the first visit and the centre's operating hours.
