Amidst the beautiful Krivoklat forests, a meditation, relaxation, and healing center called Padkar Ling, the White Lotus, is now being established. The center integrates Buddha's teachings, traditional Tibetan medicine, and the Five Elements Spa. It also hosts the Rangjung Dawa Art School, dedicated to the traditional Tibetan art of Karma Gardri, and translators of rare spiritual texts.
Everything that exists is composed of the five elements: space, wind, fire, water, and earth. These elements are omnipresent and interconnected, meaning they depend on each other. They are found not only in our bodies but also in our surroundings, our planet, and the entire universe. Each of these elements constitutes our organs and the three life energies (lung, tripa, and beken). In the spa, you can harmonize your body and mind and balance any imbalances of these life energies through external therapies.
At the center of the facility, there will be a Buddhist structure called a stupa. The stupa symbolizes the path to enlightenment, with each part representing a certain stage of development or aspect of the mind.
Wind is represented on the northern side of the property, which will be sown with grasses that wave even in a light breeze.
The western side features the element of fire with a large fire pit near the terraces. Fire is often symbolized by the color red, so plants that reflect the red color in every season have been chosen.
The east is associated with the element of water and represents calmness. A wetland with a wooden footbridge for soothing walks is located in the garden on the eastern side.
Earth is represented by the color yellow and is situated on the south side. The earth is dominated by forests and the original variable environment. The earth, which hides its treasures, represents the natural protection of humans for millennia.
The facility is located in the hilly landscape of Krivoklat, amidst rich deciduous forests in the heart of the Czech Republic.
The Berounka River and its tributaries in the deep valley are lined with rocky slopes and scree forests.
The entire facility is positioned with a view of the Klicava Valley, a left tributary of the Berounka.
The view is dominated by the opposite forested hills. Beyond the horizon lies a reservoir that expands the meanders of the stream.
The garden of the facility has been designed to respect the Tibetan art of geomancy – sache.
The basic structure of the mandala is inscribed in the garden and reflects the five elements: space, wind, fire, water, and earth. Zones were created in the garden according to the tantric elements of sache.
