Dhamma Sukhakari

Silence, Dhamma, and Suffolk's Green Heart

United Kingdom Stowmarket Goenka (S.N. Goenka) donation

Stepping onto the 20 acres of Suffolk countryside that Dhamma Sukhakari calls home, you immediately sense the intention behind its name: 'giving the happiness of Dhamma.' Acquired in 2018, this center quickly established itself as the UK’s second dedicated ten-day center, offering a robust schedule of both 10-day and shorter 3-day courses. What's particularly noteworthy is its capacity to host up to 80 students at a time, fostering a vibrant community of practitioners. Beyond adult programs, Dhamma Sukhakari also extends its offerings to younger generations with specialized courses for children and young people. It's a place designed for deep immersion, providing a serene backdrop for focused practice away from daily distractions. The center runs by donation, making these profound teachings accessible to a wide range of individuals.
