A Buddhist monastery of the Thai Forest Tradition
Located in Wilton, NSW, just 20 minutes from Wollongong and 1 hour from Sydney, Bodhisaddha provides a forest sanctuary in which monks and laypeople have the opportunity to encounter and practice the path of spiritual development taught by the Buddha.
The resident community of monks have an ideal environment to cultivate lives of meditation and service, while allowing visitors to receive teachings and to develop qualities of generosity, faith, mindfulness and wisdom in line with the Buddhist path.
Dedicated towards bringing peace into the lives of individuals and the surrounding community, Bodhisaddha welcomes all traditions that share this vision.

Many came for one day and night to reflect on the important commemoration of Asalha when the Buddha gave the First Sermon & when the Triple Gem became complete for the first time in the world.
Although there was fierce, icy winds most the day, people's faith and inspiration to practice Dhamma was unwavering.
Venerable Chaokhun Maha Samai, the leader of the ceremony, told us to reflect on words of the Buddha:
"Too cold, too hot, too late,’ they say.
When the young neglect their work like this, riches pass them by.
But one who considers heat and cold as no more than blades of grass,
he does his duties as a man, and happiness never fails.”

On Saturday 25th May, the monastery celebrated an all-day programme of Vesak. There was alms round in the morning, followed by chanting of the virtues of the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha 108 times in 3 sessions. In the evening, Venerable Chaokhun Maha Samai gave a Dhamma talk and led a candle offering and circumambulation. Chaokhun Maha Samai reminded us to keep thinking of the Buddha and to come closer and closer through him through our Dhamma practice. Anumodana to those who came and endured the cold together.
