The Meditation Hall

Inner Search

Contacting a Higher Reality

From the first moment human beings walked the earth, they began creating special places, places in which they could make contact with a higher reality.[cite: 1] In their search they might take refuge in a forest clearing, in a grotto, on a mountainside, or anywhere that offered tranquility, consolation, and… inspiration![cite: 1]

In certain very special circumstances, extraordinary experiences erupt in people’s lives - experiences that are sometimes called “spiritual.”[cite: 1]

The Architecture

Form and Function

Hemispherical Shape

Like the great stupas, the Halls are hemispherical, and touch the sky with the tip of their cupola.[cite: 1]

Empty Internal Space

Within this empty hemispherical space, people arrange themselves in circles.[cite: 1] The people are the most important.[cite: 1]

Concentrating Energy

The empty hemispherical form facilitates access to profound internal experience by making it easier to concentrate the energy.[cite: 1]

A Home for Everyone

They are spaces in which any person, believer or non-believer, can feel at home and focus on their inner world.[cite: 1] The Hall is an environment favorable for ceremony and meditation, in particular for working with one’s inner Force and directing it to one’s loved ones.[cite: 1]
