Sri Lanka Monk Opens World's Second Ayurvedic Centre in UK
18 Jul
Summary
- An Ayurvedic medicine center, practicing a 5,000-year-old healing system, has opened.
- The center is located in King's Caple, Herefordshire, UK.
- Profits from the center are reinvested into the local community.
A unique Ayurvedic medicine center, one of only two in the world, has been established in King's Caple, Herefordshire. This facility practices the ancient 5,000-year-old holistic healing system of Ayurveda. Senior Buddhist monk Venerable Uduwe Dhammaloka is associated with this initiative.
The center, named Plantation Villa, was set up by Ishara De Silva, who has a lifelong connection to the monk from Sri Lanka. It offers nightly free talks, daily yoga sessions, and sound healing, particularly when the monk is in residence. The establishment focuses on the transformative power of this traditional practice.
A significant aspect of the Plantation Villa's operation is its commitment to social responsibility. All profits generated from the center are channeled back into the local community, aiming to foster positive change and improve lives. The initiative highlights the integration of ancient healing with modern community support.
