Learn MoreNestled beside the majestic Bến En National Park, Bodhiñāṇa Monastery rests quietly amidst the mountains and forests of Thanh Hoa, offering a place of peace, reflection, and spiritual cultivation.
Established with the aspiration to preserve and illuminate the Buddha’s teachings, the monastery serves as a sanctuary where monks, nuns, and dedicated practitioners may devote themselves to the study of Dhamma, meditation practice, and the cultivation of the Noble Path.
Following the Theravāda Buddhist tradition, Bodhiñāṇa Monastery takes Sīla (Virtue), Samādhi (Concentration), and Paññā (Wisdom) as the foundation of training. Guided by the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta and the Visuddhimagga, practitioners cultivate both serenity and insight meditation, gradually nurturing a life of inner peace, mindfulness, and awakening.
As the monastery continues its development according to the master plan, we respectfully invite devotees, and generous donors near and far to join in the construction of this monastery.
Every contribution, whether large or small, becomes a lasting wholesome deed that supports the preservation of the Buddha’s Dispensation as well as for the welfare and happiness of many
In the Theravāda Buddhist
tradition, a Sīmā is a consecrated
and legally established boundary,
designated in accordance with
the Vinaya, within which the
Sangha performs important
Sanghakamma, such as the
recitation of the Pātimokkha,
higher ordinations, and other
formal Sangha proceedings.
The Sīmā Hall also serves as the place where the monastic
community gathers daily for meditation practice.
Consists of three storeys
We warmly invite donors to participate in this meritorious undertaking by sponsoring individual square metres of construction, or by making a general donation toward the Sīmā Meditation Hall
The Dining Hall and Kitchen are communal
spaces where monastics and practitioners
gather to have meals in mindfulness. It is a place
that nurtures harmony, gratitude, contentment,
and moderation
This will be a blessed place where generations
of devotees can accumulate merit through the
noble tradition of offering meals to the Sangha
Consists of two storeys
The Buddha taught that all beings are sustained by food. A stable dining hall and kitchen provide the monastic community and practitioners with the necessary support to maintain good health and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the practice of the Dhamma for years to come.
We warmly invite donors to participate in this meritorious undertaking by sponsoring individual square metres of construction, or by making a general donation toward the Dinning Hall & Kitchen.

The Buddha Stupa stands as a timeless symbol of the Buddha-Sāsana in the world. Since ancient times, stupas have served not only as places of reverence for the Blessed One, but also as sacred landmarks of faith, wisdom, and devotion, transmitting the spiritual values of the Dhamma from one generation to the next.
It is also a place where wholesome aspirations are awakened, faith is strengthened, and merit is cultivated by those who have the good fortune to visit, pay homage, and offer their support
Consists of 2 storeys
Hidden among the tranquil mountains and forests, the Meditation Hall serves as a haven of peace for those seeking refuge from the uncertainties of modern life. It is a place to turn inward, listen deeply to oneself, and touch the profound stillness that lies within.
More than a physical structure, this will be a sanctuary for inner growth and spiritual cultivation, inviting those drawn by wholesome aspirations can deepen mindfulness, and sow the seeds of concentration and wisdom that will bear fruit both now and in the future
The project will continue with the construction of residencies, following the same design, purpose, and structure established in Phase 1.
"Giving food, one gives strength. Giving clothes, one gives beauty.
Giving a vehicle, one gives ease. Giving a lamp, one gives sight.
The one who gives a residence Is the giver of all." — The Buddha taught in the Saṁyutta Nikāya
