The ultimate healing involves our own mind, our own good heart. In this unique environment, where redwoods, oak, squirrel, wild turkeys, deer and the song of birds abound, you can enjoy fine walking and biking trails, be still with nature in the meadow, merge with the primordial silence of the enchanted forest, admire the beauty of the superb temple and meditation hall, unwind in the sauna, swim in the heated pool, browse the library, turn one of three beautiful prayer wheels, relax in an elegantly-fitted modern bedroom, take time to restore your inner strength and find a new depth of peace. We are a center devoted to healing and developing loving-kindness. Situated in 85 acres in Soquel, a few miles south of Santa Cruz, and adjoining 10,000 acres of state forest, our physical location provides the space for guests to relax and recover from the strains of life.
Friends come back month after month, year after year.
This extraordinary facility is complemented by stimulating and inspiring programs led by some of the finest teachers in the world. Meditation is taught regularly to help access the ever-present stillness, clarity and love existing within our hearts. You are welcome to visit Land of Medicine Buddha at any time to participate in our workshops, courses and retreats, or just to get away from things. We are also available for group rental. We welcome you to partner us in our vision to implement a new momentum of healing and universal education based on the essential truths of wisdom, loving-kindness and compassion.
