Notes and Events:

The main purpose of ordaining is to free yourself from worldly commitments and worries so that you may have the opportunity to fully commit yourself to meditation and break away from the shackles of desire so that you may find true happiness.

Monks manage to free themselves from worldly desire by fulfilling the daily routine required of them by the tenets laid down by the Lord Buddha. In this case, the word ‘duty’ (kicavatra) is a compound made up of two words: ‘kica’ and ‘vatra’.

‘Kica’ means duties that are so important that they are considered compulsory. ‘Vatra’ means things that are advisable do, although not required. If you choose not do these latter, the consequences may not be disastrous – they do not break the monastic discipline – but they could result in the lessening of respect by those who support the monks out of faith. However, if you comply with these activities, the level of respect accorded on you will only improve and strengthen. These items of daily routine will also help to free you from worldly desire.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS

ECO LIVING 
This program promotes care for our environment and mindful living.

Eco-living means eco-sustainable living, or living in harmony with people and our environment in the long-term. It is based on under-standing of the interdependence of all life on Earth and respect for all species we share this planet with.


 EDUCATION
 The theme for our Education Program is Values and Life Skills.

Our approach to teaching Dharma to young people is based on the theme Values and Life Skills. This means that there is less emphasis on memorising what’s in a book and more on teaching the basic values exemplified by the Buddha’s life. Class time shows how the Buddha’s teachings can be used as life skills in day-to-day situations to solve “life problems”.

HUMANITARIAN CARE
The Humanitarian Care Project is a catalyst for any activity which helps to relieve suffering.

We live in a turbulent age in human history, when the number of humanitarian disasters seems to be increasing. Disasters cause suffering and destroy the fabric of society.

 SPIRITUAL CARE
Assisting the aged, the sick, the terminally ill and those in the corrective services system.
