Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage

          About Dhammagiri

Picture

            Dhammagiri is a small Theravada Buddhist forest monastery associated with the tradition 
            of Ajahn Chah.  It aims to transcend today's bewildering confusion of Buddhist gurus, dogmas                   and techniques by returning to the original teachings of the Buddha as found in the early parts                   of the Pali canon.  
            To support those who wish to train themselves according to the instructions given by the                            Buddha, Dhammagiri provides: 
   
            1.   Solitary meditation huts for a small number of resident monks.    
            2.   Secluded accommodation for a few individual lay guests to experience monastic life
                  temporarily on residential retreats. ( Dhammagiri does not host group residential retreats.)
            3.   Dhamma talks and guided meditations by experienced senior monks, including visits by                           some of  the most outstanding meditation masters of our time.     
            4.   Advice and spiritual guidance for lay visitors on how to apply the ageless wisdom of the                           Buddha to the challenges of daily life in the 21st century.      
            5.   Daily opportunities to offer almsfood and requisites to the resident sangha, and to share                           merits with departed ones.

             Located on 85 acres in a serene, natural environment amid forested hills adjoining D’Aguilar                      National Park, yet only 45 mins drive from Brisbane CBD, Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage                          provides us with ideal conditions to follow the Buddha’s advice.
