Springhill Forest Monastery

Monastery The island of Sri Lanka is a country which has a history of over 2500 years and is inhabited by a community fostered by the Buddhist philosophy. Similarly it is recognized world over that Sri Lanka has become the fortress which provides protection to pure Theravada Buddhism descending from the time of the Lord Buddha. ​ Yet for all there seems to be no other community in the world such as Buddhist community in Sri Lanka which has so many ups and downs in its history. However the service rendered by the great wise people who lived in the past as well as at present to foster and perpetuate Buddhist Dispensation is unthinkable and highly commendable. Sri Kalyani Monastery Foundation is also a Dhamma organization, constituted of highly virtuous monks, and it emerged in an era when Buddhist Dispensation was at a low ebb, with a view to resuscitate it. Vision “He who indulges himself in this Dhamma and Discipline diligently will put an end to suffering by forsaking sansara” Arunawathi Sutta – Sanyutta Nikaya Following this word of the Lord Buddha it is our vision to protect the Theravada Buddhist Dispensation and illuminate Sri Lanka once again through appearance of noblemen who have entered the Noble Path. Objectives To make available opportunities for the virtuous and respect worthy Buddhist monks both local and abroad to achieve the ideals of Buddhist Dispensation by providing them the four requisites. ( viz : robes , food , shelter and accommodation ) 1. To make available the righteous association of such virtuous and respect worthy monks to the laity both local and abroad and provide opportunity for them to study properly the pure Buddhist philosophy and develop their faculties of meditation. 2. To protect pure Theravada Buddhism which is in an intrinsic process of decline and helping these noblemen who work through self sacrifice to protect it, by providing them the four requisites , and thereby seek well being both in this world and in the next.
