| We
own 8200 square metres of land at Glentui, 50 minutes
from Christchurch. The land is at the edge of Mt Richardson
State Forest and actually includes some native beech forest.
The immediate surroundings are picturesque and on a fine
day, the views are breath taking. On one side lies a densely
forested valley with hills rising to about 1000 meters.
On the other side the expanse of the Canterbury Plains
stretches towards Christchurch and the distant ocean.
Without doubt this is an excellent spot for meditation.
And all this only 50 minutes from Christchurch!
In
2002, the five surrounding sections were bought by European
Diamond Way sangha, and in December 2003 the last remaining
section in the subdivision went to a German friend. |

The
project has now become truly international and
plans are evolving into a small “Buddhist
Village” with a central retreat house with
meditation room surrounded by sangha houses and
overlooked by a stupa. |

| Development
of the land has not started yet. To build the retreat
house and stupa, we need all the help we can get, in the
form of ideas, enthusiasm, labour, and financial support.
If you want to be involved, or if you just want to see
the land, you are most welcome to contact us. |
