In The Beginning

Dhamma Rasmi ("Rasmi" means ray of light or sunshine) is in a beautiful sub-tropical area known as the Sunshine Coast, 140 km north of Brisbane.

Forty acres were purchased in 1989 and another twenty acres in 1993. The land is gently sloping and partly timbered, with a small tree-lined creek. Facilities include a high-ceilinged octagonal hall for 200 students, dormitories for 30, six 2-bed cottages, a kitchen/dining building, and a reception/administration area with servers rooms.

In The Present

A minimum of two courses are held at the Centre each month which include 10 day, Children's, Satipatthana and 20 day courses. A growing number of students have settled in the area to help the management, and gain benefit by visiting for group sittings. Other frequent visitors are kangaroos and smaller marsupials, including koalas, who live in the eucalypt forest nearby.
