Dhammasala Forest Monastery

Dhammasala Forest Monastery is a meditation monastery in the lineage of the Thai Forest Tradition. Founded in 2000 by Ajahn Khemasanto, he remains the Abbot and teacher since that time. The monastery grounds consists of 28 acres of mostly forest with walking paths and meditation shelters.

Our purpose is to give monks the opportunity to practice in line with the Dhamma (doctrine) and Vinaya (training rules) taught by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago. Laymen, laywomen, and visitors are also welcome at the Monastery to learn and practice in line with the Buddha's teachings .
