Temple Forest Monastery

This Buddhist Monestary, also called Jetavana, follows the Thai Forest tradition. The monks that live there use the peace and quiet to aid their meditation practice and live the Buddhist monastic way of life.
Just because you aren’t ready to live in a monastery doesn’t mean you can’t participate in the spiritual work that takes place there. In Thailand, monasteries like these can be found in most villages and towns and serve as a place for ceremonies, prayers, cultural activities, education, and medicine.

The Temple hosts Sunday Meditation Workshops from 1-3 PM. Overnight guests are welcome as well as drop-in day visitors along with Saturday discussions of the Dharma or Buddhist philosophy.
