Monastery

The Buddhist Society of Canada has the goal of establishing a forest monastery in Canada, rooted in the Thai Forest Tradition. Our aim is to create a peaceful residence for monastics, providing them with a supportive environment to deepen their practice. In addition, the monastery will be a centre of teaching and practice for both monastics and laypeople, offering teachings, meditation sessions and retreats, free from the distractions of an urban setting. The monastery also plans to offer opportunities for laypeople to stay and practice for shorter or longer periods.
