    My experience at Rockhill Meditation Center was excellent. I just completed a 10 day Vipassana meditation there and am leaving grateful and appreciative of everything I received and experienced there. Like many things in Sri Lanka it is humble and spartan, a Buddhist hermitage first, which set on top of a beautiful hill very close to Kandy. The meals were simple but plentiful, the rooms basic but suitable. Know that your 'donation' goes to support this special place as well as help expand and upgrade the entire facility. You can see it happening with your own eyes; the money paid is used for the benefit of all future participants. Bhante, the head monk and teacher, is one who speaks of the Dhamma from a place of genuine experience, not from conventional conceptualization with regurgitated knowledge from books or other teachers' teachings. He is very approachable, knowledgeable, humorous, tells wonderful stories, and knows exactly what each student needs. It is a special place. Visit and experience for yourself.

    A quiet place in the middle of nature near Kandy. We have chosen a open course and visited Rockhill for 6 days. There are 2 very friendly housemaids which cooked the best Sri Lankan food (vegetarian and sometimes even vegan), that we enjoyed during our whole time in the country. Of course also the nuns and monks are giving their best, to bring your meditation skills to the next level. Besides you learn a lot about buddhism and have free time to study the great provided books. Highly recommend it for everyone!

    Wauw, what an amazing experience. I stayed at Rockhill for one week and it changed my life. I could not have expected this when I came here a week ago. The place is beautifull and very calm, with a nice view into the valley. The nons and monks are the friendliest persons I've ever met and they helped me with all my queations. The insight it gave me into myself is priceless. I will never fidget this experience. I hope to return to this place in a few years and I know their door and hearts will always be open. Thank you very much for a wonderfull experience and I wish that you may be well and happy.
