Bali Meditation Center
BMC's Story
Welcome to Bali Meditation Center, a dedicated non-profit organization located in the peaceful heart of Sukawati, near Ubud. Our vision is simple yet profound: to cultivate World Peace through Inner Peace. We believe that lasting peace in the world begins when each individual discovers peace within through meditation. As the mind becomes calmer and clearer, conflict can give way to understanding, compassion, love, and goodwill. Our meditation retreats and classes are guided by experienced Buddhist monks who have lived in the monastic community and practiced meditation for many years.
We believe that inner peace should be accessible to everyone, which is why our center operates on a donation-based (Dana) model. Regardless of nationality, religion, or financial background, everyone is warmly welcome. Whether you are looking for a half-day, 1-day, or 3-day meditation retreat, meditation classes, or simply seeking a deeper spiritual reset, we invite you to experience monk-led meditation—a practice that helps calm, cleanse, and purify the mind from stress and distractions, allowing greater clarity and inner peace to emerge. Together, we cultivate peace within and share that peace with the world.
Our Vision
World Peace Through Inner Peace
Our Mission
Be your personal sanctuary — helping you return your mind home, attain inner peace, and recharge from within.
​
Make meditation accessible to everyone — a universal practice for experiencing purity, inner peace, and true happiness.
Unite 1 million meditators at Dhammakaya Temple, Thailand, in one place and at one time — creating a powerful wave of pure collective energy to uplift and purify the world through still and purified minds, radiating peace to the world and helping bring true world peace into reality.
Why We Do What We Do
Every brick laid, every step taken, and every meditation session held at the Bali Meditation Center is a testament to a heartfelt commitment. We felt a deep and powerful calling to establish a sanctuary that would spotlight the transformative power of meditation. Through the serene ambiance of BMC, we aim to elevate the collective consciousness by making the profound benefits of meditation accessible to all. In a world flooded with noise and chaos, BMC stands as a beacon of peace, encouraging individuals to delve deep within and rediscover their innate tranquility.
More than a place to meditate, we hope BMC can be a warm and welcoming space where everyone feels a sense of coming back home. We encourage each person to carry the mindfulness, inner peace, and clarity cultivated here into daily life—to live with greater awareness and allow the practice of meditation to bring lasting benefit not only to themselves, but also to others and the wider community.
From Foundation to Flourish
2017 - 2019
Our journey from ideation to realization spanned two enriching years, from November 2017 to November 2019. Though the path was not devoid of challenges – from conceptualizing a unique space that blended seamlessly with the Balinese culture, to finding an idyllic location that exuded tranquility, and rallying the community behind our vision – every obstacle encountered was an opportunity for growth and reaffirmation of our mission.

Our Founder
Bhante Pradit (Luang Pi Pradit) has devoted more than 40 years to the study and practice of meditation. Guided by the teachings of Luangpor Dhammajayo and Master Nun Chand Konnokyoong, he has dedicated his monastic life to cultivating inner stillness and sharing the path to peace and wisdom with others.
He believes that true world peace begins with a peaceful and purified mind. When the mind becomes still, clarity, compassion, and goodwill towards others naturally arise—first within ourselves, then extending to those around us and to the wider world.
This vision lies at the heart of Bali Meditation Center: to create a welcoming space where people from all walks of life can experience meditation, reconnect with the peace within, and discover the power of a still mind. Through his calm presence and many years of practice, Bhante Pradit continues to guide BMC toward its greater mission: uniting one million people to meditate together at Dhammakaya Temple, Thailand, and creating a powerful collective energy for world peace.
Our Approach
At Bali Meditation Center, we practice the Middle Way Meditation Technique, rooted in traditional Buddhist meditation teachings. The practice gently trains the mind to become still and gradually deepen inward, allowing greater mindfulness, concentration, and inner clarity to naturally develop.
As the mind settles more deeply, practitioners can experience inner purity, peace, wisdom, and renewed energy from within. This quiet strength can transform daily life—bringing greater awareness, joy, and goodwill, and allowing the peace cultivated within to naturally radiate to others and the wider community. Come and discover the power of Middle Way Meditation Technique for yourself.
