Nestled amidst the mountains and the peaceful wilderness off Kalthota, Balangoda is the Dhammahadaya Aranya Senasanaya (Dhammahadaya Monastery) where serenity meets the soul. Dhammahadaya means the Heart of the great teachings of the Buddha.

This Theravada Buddhist monastery began its journey on the 03rd of May 2017, as a branch of Mihindu Aranya, Anuradhapura which is a sector of the Siyam Nikaya, Rohana Parshavaya, Wanavasa sector. The journey began on this great day in the presence and with blessings from Most Ven. Galpatha Sumana Anunayaka Thero of Mihindu Aranya, Most Ven. Mankadawala Sudassana Thero of Labunoruwakanda Aranya Senasanaya and other most venerable Maha Sanga Rathnaya (Most Noble Theros). The chief dayakas present included Dr. Shriyani Abeysuriya, Mrs. Nirma Jayaweera and many others.   

The Aranya is home to Theravada bhikkhu who reside in huts spread in around 3 acres of forest. The Bikkus live a peaceful and noble life guided by the precepts and principles of Buddhist philosophy. Sermons, discourses and discussions are purely and wholly based on the teachings from the Tripitaka and Attakatha. 

The monastery is located away from the village. The Bikkus mostly visit other temples in the village on full moon poya days to deliver sermons or for dhamma discussions. The bikkus are only visited by people who arrive at the Aranya to offer mid day dana (meals).

The environment in which the Aranya is located is ideal for the Bhikkhus, in their strive towards the development of virtues and wisdom to attain the Supreme Bliss of Nirvana, though meditation and mindfulness.

The day starts with morning dana (meals) prepared at the monastery, followed by cleaning of the surrounding by the monks and the lay people residing at the Aranya.

The afternoon Dana or meal (which is the last meal for the day) is offered by lay people who visit the temple by 10:00 a.m. The lay people, first offer the prepared meal to the Buddha. This is known as offering of the ‘Buddha poojawa’. They then offer the meal or dana to the bikkus generally between 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Once the dana is over, the visitors are gifted by the residing monks with the preaching of the most virtuous teaching of the Dhamma from Tripitaka.

The rest of the day is spent by Bhikkhus in seclusion in practicing the Dhamma through meditation, mindfulness, reading of the Suttas from the Tripitaka and attakatta and Dhamma discussions.

Notes and Events:

With the core belief that “Inner Peace brings World Peace”, Dhammakaya Centre Singapore was set up as a Buddhist Meditation Society back in September 1999, with teaching and promoting meditation as its principal activity. Meditation is a popular activity suitable for all ages, races and religions, and particularly relevant for people living in a dynamic and fast-paced city like Singapore. On top of well-established benefits to one’s physical health, it has also been shown to be effective in reducing stress and elevating cognitive abilities and work productivity. In the area of inter-personal relationship, it has an even more profound impact; a positive change at the individual’s emotional level has a positive influence on the well-being of one’s immediate family and community, thus setting in place the foundation for a world that is accepting, inclusive and cohesive. This is the world that we value and aspire for. The DCS Building was designed specifically to provide a space of tranquillity to anyone who seeks to achieve that inner peace. It’s like an oasis in a desert, a safe harbour to nourish an individual’s mind. Having set base at Punggol, we are now ready to fully pursue our mission to benefit the masses. In lock-step with the development of the Punggol district, we shall now march towards a blissful, harmonious and prosperous society.

Notes and Events:

The Venerable Chao Khun Phra Mongkol-Thepmuni once said that Dhammakaya meditation would be known all over the country, primarily because it penetrates right to the heart of the practice of purification. Defilements such as greed, hatred, delusion, conceit, wrongview, doubt, sloth, restlessness, shamelessness, and lack of moral dread are uprooted naturally and effectively. Avijja or ignorance becomes Vijja or knowledge.

Dhammakaya meditation is not a new practice, as many believe. It is the original Buddha-Teaching. Dhammakaya meditation is the exact path that the Buddha practiced. It is cited many times in the Tipitaka (Buddhist Canon), and directly follows the Noble Eightfold Path which is classified into the three categories of Sila or morality, Samatha or Right Concentration, and Vipassana or Right Wisdom. In combination with the four Satipatthana or Foundations of Mindfulness, the Samatha (concentration) and Vipassana (insight) will advance to Right Wisdom pertaining to the Sankhara or compounds and Visankhara or non-compounds. The Right Wisdom of the Four Noble Truths will be unfolded. Nirvana or freedom from all conditioning and suffering will, thus, be attained.

Without Lord Buddha, this teaching would never have been known and practiced. Without the Venerable Phra Mongkol-Thepmuni, Dhammakaya meditation would never have been well known again. Various benefits will be gained even at the beginning of Dhammakaya meditation practice.

This is for all who seek to understand reality or the true meaning of life as well as those who seek inner purification. Wisdom and virtue develop hand-in-hand. As the meditator progresses beyond the distortions of the passions, insight sharpens and understanding deepens.

Dhammakaya Meditation does not require blind faith. You do not have to believe in Buddhism to benefit from it. It is a method for training the mind to become concentrated and keenly aware, focused inward at the center of the body. With practice, you will encounter new experiences for yourself and will develop confidence.

In 1916, Luang Phor Sodh Candasaro (Chao Khun Phra Mongkol-Thepmuni) rediscovered the Dhammakaya approach to meditation which had been lost sometime during the first five hundred years following the passing away of Lord Buddha. The technique leads the meditator directly along the path to enlightenment and emancipation by combining concentration (Samatha) and insight (Vipassana) meditation techniques. It is, thus, extremely focused and effective.

Dhammakaya Meditation practice has become popular and widespread throughout Thailand. This is intended to make the method more widely available to English speakers.

Meditation begins with turning the powers of observation and awareness inward. We are accustomed to perceiving the outside world, but introspection requires special effort. Steeped in science, we have prided ourselves on “objectivity” while remaining largely unaware of inner biases.

Traditional scientific objectivity required isolation from the object observed. Since quantum mechanics was introduced, science has recognized that we are part of the world we perceive and what we see depends on how we look at it. Meditation is like polishing a lens to enable us to see more clearly. Skill in meditation develops the ability to perceive experience directly without the distortions implicit in conceptualization.

Many seekers turn to meditation because of dissatisfaction with life. This is the universally experienced sadness / suffering / tension (Dukkha) on which Lord Buddha based the Four Noble Truths. But, this motivation to ease tensions or cope with anxieties is only a starting point. Many meditation techniques will provide relief on this worldly level, but the beauty of Dhammakaya Meditation is that it leads directly upwards from this plane to more and more refined, purer and purer levels of awareness.

The effectiveness of the Dhammakaya Meditation derives from focusing attention at the center of the body and combining three meditation techniques simultaneously. Meditators often debate the efficacy of concentration (Samatha) versus insight (Vipassana). Dhammakaya Meditation employs elements of both. Higher and higher levels of concentration enable personal insight to progress from a more worldly view to Right Understanding and ultimately to Supra-mundane Right Wisdom.

We bieden cursussen en andere activiteiten aan, waarbij we niet de nadruk leggen op het werven van leden of het ‘bekeren’ van mensen tot Boeddhist. We proberen, zoals eigen is aan het Boeddhisme, de wijsheden van de Boeddha aan te bieden aan alle geïnteresseerden, aan zowel de allochtone Thai die in België, Nederland en Luxemburg wonen, als de steeds meer geïnteresseerde autochtone Europeaan.

We benadrukken de praktische kant van het Boeddhisme: hoe je Boeddhistische wijsheid op een pragmatische manier in je dagelijks leven kunt integreren, door eenvoudige maar zinvolle dagelijkse activiteiten zoals vrijgevigheid, zelfdiscipline en vooral meditatie.

Daarom organiseren we elke week meditatielessen voor zowel nieuwkomers als meer ervaren beoefenaars.  Daarnaast organiseren we verschillende keren per jaar retraites aan in het Nederlands, Thais en Engels. Nu en dan zijn er vieringen, die worden gehouden in overeenstemming met eeuwenoude Boeddhistische tradities. Deze vieringen bevatten vaak verschillende ceremonies of plechtigheden, die we simultaan vertalen in het Nederlands of Engels naar gelang het publiek dat de viering bijwoont.

We practice in harmony with the elements and our bodily sensations, to cultivate non-conceptual Being (mindfulness), to realize the truth of our own nature. Just as the waters are ever-changing, as the trees and plants dance with the air element of wind, or as the sun appears and disappears through the clouds and coastal fog, we cultivate our awareness of impermanence, which is reflected in our constantly changing thoughts and feelings, and the arising and dissolving away of all forms.  We practice surrender to the moment as it is unfolding, without clinging to any particular object, thought, or sensation--allowing all to arise and pass away within the field of our non-judging awareness.

Dharma Creek Sangha currently offers one weekend womens sunset/moonrise kayak retreat each month, plus a week-long womens dharma camp in June.  The Sangha is located on 200+ acres of beautiful land which is available for guided or solo private retreats, and for small-group use by other spiritual groups upon request.

Notes and Events:

The founder of our society most respectable world citizen,Prof. Dr. Dharmakirti Mahathera locally established many social, religious and cultural developmental associations. The local people of our society are greatly benefited to this association. For long time his contribution is unique and unparalleled in our local area (Especially in Mirsarai and Sitakunda Upazilla). If he is still working with many others national and international organization and there also he has contribution, but for long time he is thinking to establish an organization to extend his own work range Nationally and Internationally. So this society is the fruit of his dream.

He had a plan to declared about this society in the year 2010, in his Mahathera Abhidha conferring ceremony, which was observed Nationally and Internationally. At that time if he could not declared but this society is working from that time. So it was established in a historical and memorial day the 21 January 2010.

Dharmakirti International peace and progress society (abbreviation for DIPPS) begin to consist a DIPPS Central Trust Fund for future all developmental work, except special projects all of DIPPS money will fixed deposit in bank for trust fund. We don’t spend capital money of trust fund. we only use yearly interest of fixed deposit for social development work of DIPPS and its Co-organization.

The first work of this society is to start Friday weekly monastic religious schools or Friday Dhamma schools for children. We already start it in Damdhama- Nababpur Dharmakirti Buddhist Monastery. When our fund will increase, gradually we will extend this program all the temples of Mirsarai and Sitakunda Upazilla. After that all the temples of Bangladesh. Because without ethical guidance or religious teachings we can’t build a good society as well as a good Nation.

According to our founder’s observation, now there have not much financial poverty in the Buddhist community of Bangladesh, but in the field of Buddhist studies of youth there have much poverty. For a lack of moral religious knowledge now many Buddhist youth of Bangladesh are misguide and degenerate to the way of real life. So their families as well as the society are suffering a lot. We think that the Buddha’s teaching is the best way to escape to this situation.

The second priority of our society (DIPPS) is to establish Dhamma Duta residential school and college for monks and novices. Because our founder think that except good and skillful religious teacher society cannot be good. Now days there have shortage skillful religious teachers or monks in Bangladesh. So DIPPS will whole heartedly try to fulfill this shortage. You will be happy and glad to hear that by the graces of Triple Gems our founder already get a big land as a donation for this purpose. And building construction also going on at that place. We have a master plan, where we have need near about 250, 00000/- (Two core and fifty lac) approximately USD 320512$  to complete this construction work. within six months we already spent near about 300, 000/- (Thirty Lac). Now its foundation work is completed. Our well wishers from land and abroad are extend their generous helping hand.

After complete this construction work we will start education courses on Tripitaka (Sutta, Binoyand Abhidhamma including Pali and English) to the grass label. This Dhammaduta School and college not only teach them canonical teachings (pariyatti Dhamma) but also emphasis to teach them the strong code of discipline, Sila and Samadhi (Patipatti Dhamma). After finishing their course they will go for preach the Dhamma for the good of many, for the happiness of many, as a Dhammaduta (The messenger of Dhamma).
