Meditation Hall Appeal
Help Complete
the Heart of De-Tong Ling
Nestled in the peaceful wilderness of Kangaroo Island, South Australia, De-Tong Ling Retreat Centre has been a place of meditation, retreat and Dharma practice for more than 30 years.
The remoteness of this unique location offers the rare conditions of silence, solitude and natural beauty that support genuine retreat and inner transformation.
Over the past nine years, we have been developing a new group retreat facility to better support group retreats and long-term practice. Comfortable accommodation, a modern kitchen and dining area have already been completed.
The final stage is the new meditation hall
This hall will become the heart of De-Tong Ling—a dedicated space where practitioners can gather for meditation, Buddhist teachings and retreat in one peaceful, purpose-built environment.
Our aspiration is for De-Tong Ling to serve the wider FPMT community throughout the Asia-Pacific region, welcoming Dharma centres, teachers, students and practitioners to experience the unique peace, solitude and retreat environment this special place offers.
Help Bring This Vision to Life
The total cost to complete the meditation hall is A$600,000.
Thanks to the generosity of Venerable Gyatso and our Australian community, A$120,000 has already been raised—20% of the total funding needed to complete the new meditation hall.
A further A$480,000 is needed to complete the project.
Every contribution, no matter its size, helps create a place where the Dharma can continue to flourish for generations to come.
We warmly invite you to become part of this vision.
