Google Map Project

View Meditation Resources Worldwide in a larger map

Sometimes I love the web. This afternoon I was browsing a list of meditation centres worldwide and thought wouldn’t it be much more useful if they were all mapped rather than just presented as a flat list? So rather than wait for anyone to do it I realised that even as a technical inept such as I could hack one together using Google Maps, so here it is.

But of course it’s totally incomplete…so I’m asking for your help.

Click here to see the full map and anyone can put in a pin where they think one is deserved.

To start with I’m using a three-part classification:

• Red pins for monastic residential centres
• Blue pins for lay residential centres
• Green pins for urban/community non-residential groups

Because of my bias/background I’ve started with places in the insight/vipassana tradition but ours is a fluid world so please do feel free to pin any place that you think will be of value.
