Dhamma Sukhakari
Silence, Dhamma, and Suffolk's Green Heart
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.
