Dear Lama Dvora says:


“This path guides us toward becoming people who live in harmony with others. Everyone who comes here feels that they are part of something greater than themselves”.

In 2021, a one-year Shamatha retreat took place in Moa.

For an entire year, this place became a space of continuous practice and profound inner transformation.
Today, Moa continues to carry the atmosphere of depth, peace, and compassion.

This experience became an important foundation for the next great stage.
In 2027, a three-year retreat will begin in Moa.

Already today, we are creating the conditions that will allow this retreat to become a source of support and inspiration for many people.

Today, we unite around a shared purpose:
to nurture and expand a space of wisdom, kindness, and healing —
a space where teachings come alive through action, and hearts open to the world.
The power to make this possible is within every one of us.
Each of us brings trust, love, and faith in the Path into the world.
Your voice can help others discover the value of this place.
Your involvement can open new hearts.
Through your actions, the goodness that is already arising here can touch the lives of many more people.
Our purpose:

Together, we are creating a heartfelt and inspiring campaign that shares the story of “Method and Wisdom” and invites people to become part of this meaningful journey.

We invite you to join this campaign as ambassadors of this mission.

Through your support, you help others become part of something truly pure, profound, and life-changing — a space where learning and practice, compassion and healing come together, and where sincere intentions are transformed into acts of kindness.

Together, we create a place for good.

In 2027, a three-year retreat will begin in Moa.

Even now, it is especially important to preserve and prepare the space where, for three years, the Teachings, practice, and Sangha will come together and flourish.


By supporting the Sangha, we create the conditions for wisdom and compassion to continue benefiting countless people.

In the Buddhist tradition, supporting and preserving the Sangha is considered one of the most powerful virtuous actions, because through the Sangha, the benefit of the Dharma can continue to spread far beyond a single place.


By supporting this campaign today, you are not only helping to sustain the projects that already exist. You are creating the foundation for the three-year retreat beginning in 2027 and helping this place continue to serve people for many years to come.
