Wat Buddha Dhamma is a Theravadin Forest Monastery devoted to the training of monks, nuns and lay practitioners. People are welcome to visit and it is possible to arrange to stay as a guest for a period of time, sharing in the lifestyle of the monastic community. The Wat encourages the development of seclusion, simplicity and renunciation. It is the dedicated commitment to this way of life that facilitates a communal atmosphere where people of diverse backgrounds, nationalities, and personalities can live in harmony and to practice the Teachings of the Lord Buddha to realise Ultimate Liberation.

He attended his first meditation retreat with Ajahn Brahm in Melbourne in 2002 and shortly afterwards made the trek across the Nullabor to ordain with Ajahn Brahm at Bodhinyana Monastery, Perth. Having trained at Bodhinyana for 7 years (6 years as a monk), and now no longer a junior monk, Venerable Pasadika has returned to the Eastern states to take up residency at Wat Buddha Dhamma, where he hopes to deepen his meditation practice and assist Ajahn Khemavaro in caring for the Wat and the needs of those who come to practice there. |
