Buddharama Monastery is a Bhikkhu training centre for novice monks (samaneras) and senior bhikkhus (fully ordained monks). This monastery is a place of spiritual learning and practice, where the monastic community lives in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha, focusing on meditation, Dhamma study, and ethical conduct.
There are currently 19 novice monks at Buddharama Monastery. These young monks are in the early stages of their monastic journey, receiving training in the fundamentals of Buddhist practice, meditation, and the monastic code of conduct (Vinaya).
The monastery is guided by 3 senior bhikkhus. These experienced monks provide leadership, mentorship, and instruction to the novices, ensuring that the teachings and practices of the Buddha are faithfully transmitted and upheld.
Those interested in ordaining as a novice monk can apply to join the monastery’s training program. This includes an initial period of residence and evaluation to ensure suitability for monastic life.
You can also support the monastery through donations, volunteering, and participating in meditation workshops and Dhamma talks. Offering alms to monks during their daily rounds is also a meaningful way to connect with and support the monastic community.
