[Original post:]


These are two forest monasteries in Sri Lanka.

Nimalawa Forest Monastery (strict vinaya) -

Remote forest with elephants, tigers and bears etc. A foreign monk can stay in more solitude in the sub section of the monastery called 'Thammennawa' after meeting and getting permission from the chief monk. Independent practice allowed at Thammennawa. Ancient forest monastery. Many caves and kutis to meditate. No monastery website or email.

Sadhu. Anumodana!

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

"And to what extent, lord, is one a lay follower who practices for his own benefit but not that of others?"

"Jivaka, when a lay follower himself is consummate in conviction but does not encourage others in the consummation of conviction; when he himself is consummate in virtue but does not encourage others in the consummation of virtue; when he himself is consummate in generosity but does not encourage others in the consummation of generosity; when he himself desires to see the monks but does not encourage others to see the monks; when he himself wants to hear the true Dhamma but does not encourage others to hear the true Dhamma...
