(Maitri Altar Room & Maitri Office)
July 2020 – Feb 2021
Commencing in July 2020 and continuing through to early 2021, the construction of the first Maitri building in New Zealand took place. The building was a converted shipping container and it now lovingly hosts an Altar Room for worship & offerings, a dedicated Office space, from which New Zealand volunteers help to share the Maitri Light, and a small ‘Sanctuary Room’ for personal healing, rejuvenation & meditation.
The building itself has been designed to be portable, so that should the charity own land in the future, it will be able to be relocated. For now it generously rests on picturesque land owned by Sangha family, just outside a small rural town of New Zealand.
Much research, planning and many long hours of work helped to create this deeply sacred space so we wish to thank all of the Maitri volunteers who have lovingly offered their time and services to help make this new Maitri building become a reality.
For now, the building is not yet ‘open to the public’ but lots of important work is being done from inside the building. We do hope that one day, the BSDS NZ charity will own land and will be able to offer more facilities for all truth seekers, Maitri devotees & Dharma lovers to come & enjoy.
