We built this two story building as an escape for my father who’s a Buddhist monk. He has not stayed longer but he knows that the place is available if he wants to come. This place is located in Thanamalwila area in the center of a two acres farm land. It’s equipped with a patio, bathroom, and tiled floor. Great for a couple to live and do some gardening. There’s a River just about a block away. 10 min drive to Lunugamwehera Safari.
Flexible Stays: Choose to stay at this place or one of the temples/ houses for an extended period or explore different temples during your visit. We can tailor your experience based on your preferences.
• Community Engagement: Contribute to the temple's well-being by participating in cleaning and maintenance activities, or teaching English to novice monks.
Please note that our stay program strictly prohibits alcohol, drugs, nudity, and smoking to maintain a sacred and serene atmosphere.

Travelers would have a place to stay, enjoy a meal for a small fee, and travel to nearby safari, and beach areas in Hambantota. Travelers will immediately notice the simple nature of the place as it is initially built for my dad who is a Buddhist monk (I live in Cambridge, Boston, USA), and my brother occupies the downstairs of the building. Upstairs is basically my father monk's place of living when he is visiting the town. It is newly constructed to make it look like a simple monk lodging upstairs. However, the place in itself is not a temple. No monks are living in it throughout the year.
For meditation related questions, I will provide my contact details and you can reach out to me. I have been ordained as a Buddhist monk for twenty years and living in USA for the last ten years.
There is a temple near by in the village too, and travelers can explore the local temple and observe its functions and shrines. Additionally, travelers have the opportunity to visit Buduruwagala temple just two towns away, nearly 34 km from Thanamalwila where the house is based. Buduruwagala is an ancient Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. The complex consists of seven statues and belongs to the Mahayana school of thought. The statues date back to the 10th century.
A workawayer would see that the place is not a cultural center. It is simply located in a village in Sri Lanka. The locals are born Buddhists, that means, they do not practice much of Buddhism at all besides from visiting the temple on full moon days. They also don't speak English. This place is not in a tourist town. There is a school nearby: the Kithulkote School. Workawayer can visit the school and converse with the English teacher and volunteer to teach English if they feel like doing so. No obligation. Anything else, please email and ask, I will be happy to provide details as needed.Arbeit
Any wood cabin builder? If you are good at building things, I'd love it if you could help us with building a two story cabin, at least that has become a priority now. Additionally, in our two acres land, gardening (pulling weeds, and clearing the land), watering plans maybe needed. If you like teaching English, and socializing with the villagers, that can be arranged.
If you would like to teach English to novice monks, there are several places: one monastic school is in Southern Sri Lanka (Pitabeddara Sri Gangagiri Vihara Monastery and Sri Vipulasara Pirivena), and another in Tissamaharama (Sri Vidyakeerthi Pirivena, Beralihela), or Asgiriya Pirivena in Kandy can be arranged. Please let me know, and I can arrange for you to stay, and connect with the monastic schools in those respective places.Sprachen

In Thanamalwila property, we have an upstairs room with an attached bathroom and a patio. There is a gas stove and pots available for cooking. I highly encourage you to prepare your own meals while here. Local food can be cooked and be provided if you like to taste some, but we will have to charge a small fee. Rotie, rice and curries, bread, butter, sweet potatoes, beans, lentils, will be the options. I highly encourage our travelers to prepare their own meals in the kitchen upstairs. There are local shops open from 7 am to 9 pm within 5 km radius where you can buy vegetables and prepare a fresh meal. My brother who lives downstairs has his tuk tuk that you can hire if needed.
Upstairs unit has AC, wifi, and a washing machine. Absolutely no smoking, no drugs, and no alcohol.Was noch ...
