Nissaraṇa Forest Monastery

About Nissaraṇa Forest Monastery

Nissaraṇa Forest Monastery is a Buddhist forest monastery offering a contemplative retreat from the surrounding landscape. Places of this kind typically serve both resident monastics and visiting lay practitioners, providing a setting for meditation, quiet reflection and the observance of traditional Theravāda monastic life. Visitors are generally welcome to explore the grounds respectfully, observe or participate in morning and evening chanting, and seek instruction from resident monks where permitted. The natural woodland setting that characterises such monasteries encourages a slower pace and a sense of remove from busier towns nearby. Those intending to visit should dress modestly, remove footwear before entering shrine areas and observe the customary silence maintained throughout much of the grounds.
