The Vision
In a pleasant landscape and under favourable circumstances a former
holiday home is being converted into a meditation centre. It will
be dedicated primarily to the practice and study of the Kalachakra
Tantra.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave the center the name of "Kalapa".
Help us to make our vision come true!

Place of Refuge
Kalachakra Kalapa Center is situated at a height of 1000 meters in Garanas, a rural
community in southwestern Styria. The ancient Slavic word Garanas denotes "a
place enclosed by hedges and protected by thorns". This indicates that Garanas
had already been a place of retreat and refuge in earlier times. A wonderful view,
fresh air and water from our own spring provide the ideal conditions for recreation,
relaxation, body work and spiritual practice.

Main Aspects of
the Programme
Our activities are directed to people of all nationalities and religions who
are interested in body work and training of the mind and who seek a quiet
environment for their practice. Furthermore there will be specific Buddhist
events.

side of a large terrace. At present 25 persons can be accommodated in
4- to 6-bed rooms. It is also planned to build huts for individual retreats.

Groups and associations whose aims are similar
to ours can rent the Center for their own events.
