Meditation Hall Expansion Project
"Building The Hall of Light"
The need for a deeper space of silence has grown.
More people are seeking refuge at Nisala Foundation—seeking peace, clarity, and true inner transformation. Yet today, our facilities can no longer hold everyone who comes with that sincere intention. Many are turned away, not because the need is absent, but because space is limited.
Our vision is to change that.
We are building a new meditation hall—one that will gently hold up to 150 individuals at a time. This will not simply be a building. It will be a sanctuary of stillness… a place where restless minds settle, emotional burdens dissolve, and lives are quietly transformed from within.
The first step in bringing this vision to life is laying the foundation slab.
With your generosity, the first phase—laying the slab—is already underway.
To complete the remaining construction of the meditation hall and the dormitory facilities, we now require LKR 7,000,000 (approximately USD 23,000).
​This is more than construction. Each contribution becomes part of something deeply meaningful. Every brick laid will support a moment of awakening. Every beam raised will carry the weight of someone’s healing. Every inch of this space will echo with silence that changes lives.
You are warmly invited to be part of this journey.
Your support is not just a donation—it is a direct participation in creating a space where peace becomes possible for many.
