Dhammadharini Monastery and Aranya Bodhi Hermitage are monastic facilities where we live and practice in community. We welcome visitors up to the capacity of our visitor lodgings.
Friends and supporters have blessed our monastic community with beautiful facilities for practice as well as the requisite of food. This leaves a few simple duties shared among residents and residential visitors: preparing food, keeping the spaces clean and maintained, transportation and minor purchases.
