Monastery Requirements
Developing a Forest Monastery requires manifold material support, e.g. small items of everyday use, personal requisites of the resident monks, equipment for new kutis, physical development of
the property etc.
However, according to the Vinaya, bhikkhus must not ask for requisites from lay people, unless
they are invited to do so. Without invitation, they may not even ask for small items like tissues,
toilet paper or tea.
Even if invited, they have to exercise discretion in their requests and should not overburden a generous donor. Considering the scale of our project, it would be desirable to share the opportunities for making merit with as many supporters as possible.
If you are interested in contributing in any form, please discuss the monastery requirements with Bhikkhu Dhammasiha.
