Kuti Fund

Sunyata's future unfolds with launch of Kuti (Monastic dwelling) fund.

As our regular readers will be already aware, Sunyata's vision is to become the first Irish branch monastery in the Thai Forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism. As an important step towards the realisation of this vision, we have embarked upon a project to build a Kuti to support monastics in their spiritual practice. A kuti is a small wooden dwelling, built in secluded grounds that is used by monastics for solitary meditation retreats. The Kuti will enable monastics to stay at Sunyata for extended periods of time for personal retreats and/or to offer teachings. The cost of building the Kuti is €10,000. We need your help to raise this money and make it happen. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. To make a donation to the Kuti fund please click here. Many thanks for your generous support!
