The
Monks Community
The Bhikkhu community at Amaravati began from those that came
from Cittaviveka Monastery in 1984. Many had spent some time
training in Thailand at Wat Nong Pah Pong.
Usually, there are between 8 and 16 Bhikkhu* and Samanera* in
residence, living a contemplative, celibate, mendicant life
according to the Vinaya and Dhamma. They provide the living
link with the Order founded by the Buddha over two thousand
years ago.
The community is not static as there are close links with the
other branch monasteries both in England and abroad; Bhikkhu
and Samanera move between the monasteries.
The community is led by Luang
Por Sumedho.
