Gallery Sala Evolution The Sala lies at the heart of Forest Dhamma’s monastic community activities, which include gathering there for chanting and meditation, eating the daily meal, teaching Dhamma lessons and receiving visitors. (VIEW) Monastery Development The monastery’s appearance today is a result of the sacrifices of a community of monks and lay volunteers who labored with devotion and attention to detail throughout the monastery’s construction phase. (VIEW) Monastic Life The rhythms and activities of daily life in our sangha community which are central to Forest Dhamma’s monastic training are captured in this picture gallery. (VIEW) Monastery Today We erected the infrastructure needed to provide for the basic needs of a functioning monastic community styled on the forest monasteries of Thailand, beginning with a core group of essential buildings to house our sangha members. (VIEW) Special Ceremonies This gallery traces the monastery’s annual ceremonies from the early stages, when space was scarce and arrangements were makeshift, through progressively more spacious accommodations until the main Sala hall came into use.
