Can foreigners join the daily meditation sessions at Kubalwela Asapuwa?
Foreign visitors are warmly welcomed to join the daily meditation routines at Kubalwela Asapuwa if they respectfully follow the monastery rules.
The resident monks really appreciate it when international guests show a real, thoughtful interest in Theravada Buddhist teachings. For an easier start, you should dress modestly in loose white clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. It is strongly advised to speak with a monk or a lay attendant when you arrive, so they can guide you to the right meditation halls and share the correct manners for entering the silent practice.
