Brahmavihara-Arama is a majestic Buddhist monastery complex, perched high up in the hills. Partly damaged by earthquakes in the mid-’70s, it is now part sparkly new and pristine, but some features are still comfortably old and worn. Part of the latest additions include a representation of Buddha under a Bodhi tree and two pagodas destroyed by the earthquake. You can stay here and attend classes. A meditation class was in progress the day we visited, which meant the vibe was wonderfully quiet and respectful. A Magical place.
