A Week of Dhamma Practice – Vassa August 2026
The Bhikkhu Saṅgha is now observing the Vassa (Rains Retreat) at Aranya Sangharama. During these three months, the monks remain at the monastery, dedicating themselves to deeper practice, study, and contemplation of the Dhamma.
Vassa is also a wonderful opportunity for lay practitioners to spend time at the monastery, strengthen their own practice, and experience the supportive atmosphere of living close to the Saṅgha. We warmly invite you to visit and stay for whatever time you are able to manage.
