About the Sunyata
Sunyata Buddhist Centre is based on a 10 acre property in rural County Clare. For a one year trial period, starting in July 2025, the centre is being run as a subbranch of Sumedhārāma Monastery, with Ajahn Vajiro as the spiritual director. During this time there will be monastics resident at the centre.
Sunyata Centre is inspired by the Thai Forest tradition of Buddhism particularly the lineage of Ajahn Chah and Ajahn Sumedho, who opened our Dhamma hall in July 2000. Since 1998 the centre has been offering residential retreats and a wide variety of other events to those who wish to learn about Buddhism, mindfulness and meditation. It also welcomes people to come and stay to sample spiritual community life. People of all faiths or none are equally welcome at Sunyata.
We hope that the benefits of Dhamma can be available to all who choose to visit.
