As we get ready for the formal inauguration of Aranya Sangharama by Luang Por Liem sometime in early 2025, we are working overtime to get the monastery in shape for this momentous event. A Sangha of a few Wat Pah Nanchat monks has already started living in Aranya Sangharama.

As 2024 draws to a close there an opportunity to participate in Shramm Daan to clean the monastery grounds, and participate in various other tasks to prepare the monastery. This will also be an opportunity to chant some key Suttas along with the Sangha, meditate and participate in Dhamma discussions.

The period of 28 December 2024 to 1 January 2025 is being designated as a work and meditation week at Aranya Sangharama.

Over this period, we will intersperse our regular morning evening sessions chanting and meditation sessions, pindapatta and meal times with periods of cleaning the grounds, landscaping, removing weeds, Dhamma discussion, visits to the archeological remains of the ancient monastery.

All are welcome to join this auspicious and momentous occasion. You can join for any period based on your convenience. Shared accommodation is available in male and female dormitories.

Please inform Rahul (+91 89792 68717) in advance so that suitable arrangements can be made.

We look forward to welcoming you all to the first monastery in Ajahn Chah’s tradition in India.
