Santarama Buddhist Hermitage meditation center in Penang, Malaysia Currently some renovation for the meditation hall and ladies quarters are ongoing due to termites infestation.  This renovation will enhance the safety and comfort for the yogis in future. Previously, multiple insight meditation group retreats had been held here, including retreats led by Bhante Gavesi. 1st phase - roof and beams (meditation hall) 2nd phase - roof, beams, new toilets, flooring, walls (ladies quarters).   3rd phase - roof, beams (dining hall) The center needs to raise RM250,000 (USD$60,000) for 1st and 2nd phase; and later this year, the budget for 3rd phase. So far, RM120,000 (USD$28,800) has been collected.   Pictures: https://sites.google.com/view/santarama/home We are collecting the funds through HMC (Houston Meditation Community) and we will then transfer it to Santarama Malaysia's account.
