Mitraville Meditation Centre

Kundasang, Malaysia

The Mitraville Meditation Centre sits on a prime 13 acre site on the Pinosuk Plateau directly next to Mount Kinabalu Golf Club and directly below the south side of Mount Kinabalu. “Mitra” means ‘friend’ in Sanskrit and Mitraville basically means a village of true friends. The Aloka Stupa at Mitraville is a monument of peace, anchoring spiritual energies, and providing inspiration and blessings to all. This stupa has deep significance to the Buddhist community as it symbolises the path to Enlightenment – to ultimate peace – through the cultivation of the mind: by reducing and eliminating greed, hatred and delusion; and developing generosity, loving-kindness and wisdom. The setting of the stupa and surrounding buildings is magnificent with the imposing view of Mount Kinabalu and the densely forested hills so it is a perfect site for meditation and relaxation.
