Zealand to fulfill the religious and spiritual aspirations of the Buddhist community in the south island.Samadhi Buddhist Vihara follows Theravada Buddhist tradition and provides spiritual guidance to integrate Lord Buddha’s teachings into everyday life of the Buddhist community.The Vihara has been the center for many spiritual and cultural activities of the Sri Lankan Buddhists living in the south island. The community has been positively influenced through the association and participation of these activities. It has been a great pleasure to see the section of community who always had a close liaison with the temple, expanding their spiritual and cultural awareness as well as another section becoming interested in the teachings of Buddha.This centre currently conducts many regular programmes including monthly Sil programmes, weekly Sri Lankan language and cultural school Dhamma School, weekly Dhamma discussions during the Vassana (rainy) season, meditation retreats as well as annual events such as celebration of Vesak, Katina robe ceremony and other religious and social activities.The Dhamma library of the Vihara is being maintained in a high quality, providing knowledge to those who seek refuge of Lord Buddha’s teachings.At present, the temple is located in a small home and a preliminary action plan has been initiated to acquire a new location for the temple to provide better facilities to the Buddhist community of the south island.

🌱 Tree Planting Project (19th July 2026) – Greener future! 🌱

Sri Lankan Language and Cultural School, Samadhi Buddhist Vihara students, families, and volunteers came together for a tree planting project at the temple initiated by the mentor group 2026. Through this hands-on sustainability activity, students put buddhist values into practice while helping to create a greener and healthier environment for our future generations.

Together, we planted 50 Cypress trees and more than 300 native seedlings that will enhance the temple grounds, support local biodiversity, and leave a lasting legacy for our community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed, donated, and volunteered their time. Every tree planted today is a step towards a more sustainable future 🌳🙏
