Community
......The vision for the
Center is to be a residential Theravada Buddhist yogi and lay
residential community. The yogi tradition is patterned on the
Burmese yogis who devote themselves to practice, study and service
to the community.Community
......The Center will serve as a teaching/training institute in Theravada Buddhism and practice. It will provide the physical nucleus of a community in which the Dhamma is a living practice and a way of life. Dr. Thynn's vision is to create a safe and caring place for the old, the very young and the infirm, similar to the Buddhist communities of Asia.
......The Center offers a variety of accommodations for long- and short-term residents. Please go to the Dhamma House and Rooms for Residents and Visitors link for more information regarding shared housing.
