Cherry Tree

cherry tree

Cherry Tree is a virtual, international, meditation room, open all day, every day, for all those who wish to practice Vipassana or Metta meditation, at any time, wherever in the world they may be.

The space provides an opportunity to meditate with others, but could, in time, become a place of global interconnectedness.

The room is dedicated to members of the Sangha at Pian dei Ciliegi who are no longer with us: in particular our beloved teacher Brother Dassana, but also Emmanuela Cipriandi, Paola Filosa, and Lucia Lanzoni.

Instructions for use of the room:

Turn off your audio, and let your video be sufficiently well-lit, to create a safe space for practice.

GOOD PRACTICE

Retreat fund

At one of its recent meetings, the Board at Pian dei Ciliegi has decided to establish a fund that will permit its more motivated yogis to participate in extended retreats here at Pian dei Ciliegi itself, or at other related centers such as the Panditarama Lumbini International Vipassana Meditation Center, the Panditarama Shwe Taung Gon Sasana Yeiktha in Yangon, the Santisukkarama Centre in Malaysia, the Centres that followthe tradition of di U-Janaka).
It is the feeling of the Board that the fund be comprised of donations made by meditators or supporters, in such a way as to allow them to develop the virtue of Dana (generosity) which, alongside Sila (moral conduct) and Nekkhamma (renunciation), is a fundamental aspect of the practice, and which we will never tire of underlining.
