Our General schedule at the Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center is built to support your successful development in meditation.

Whenever someone is in retreat here, the primary concern is for their meditation development which means no sleep deprivation and excellent development of both MIND AND BODY.

Everyone is on 8 precepts when here for retreat.

Staff in residence are sometimes on five precepts. A Five precept lay community is developing side by side to this monastery now. 42 acres have been set aside for the village development project over the next three years.

The normal daily schedule in the monastery and for your onsite retreat runs as follows:
