PENANG BUDDHIST MEDITATION SANCTUARIES

Meditation is practised in all Buddhist traditions as a means of cultivating the mind. Penang as a state with diverse religion practices is blessed to be home to numerous outstanding meditation centres, both in urban and rural areas.

Apart from being a place for spiritual cultivation, these meditation sanctuaries are also unique tourist destinations for holiday makers that are seeking a peaceful and spiritual experience.

These centres are all run by non-governmental organisations and it’s a testament to Penangite’s unity, volunteerism, resourcefulness and commitment towards spiritual development.
