Celebrating a Sacred Tradition: The Temporary Ordination of a Foreign Monk at Rideekanda Forest Monastery
Celebrating a Sacred Tradition: The Temporary Ordination of a Foreign Monk at Rideekanda Forest Monastery
Greetings to our beloved community,
We are filled with joy and spiritual warmth as we share the news of a remarkable event that recently graced the sacred grounds of Rideekanda Forest Monastery. In a beautiful ceremony steeped in ancient tradition, we welcomed a foreign monk into our spiritual family through a temporary ordination.
The ordination ceremony was a profound expression of cultural and spiritual unity, bridging distant lands through the universal language of faith. It was an honor to witness the dedication of our new brother, who has traveled far to seek wisdom and peace in the serene embrace of our monastery.
This special event began with the chanting of sutras, resonating through the lush greenery of our forest surroundings. The air was filled with the scent of incense and the serene sounds...
Foreigners' Retreat @ Rideekanda Forest Monastery | Meditation Retreat
The "Foreigners' Retreat" video focuses on the residential retreats offered at the Rideekanda Forest Monastery, which provides accommodation for both male and female meditation practitioners, including Buddhist monks and nuns. The retreat programs are flexible and tailored to meet the individual objectives and requirements of the participants. There are no fixed dates for the retreats, and participants can plan their stay based on their own schedule. The aim of the residential programs is to help participants reach the highest understanding of Theravada Buddhism – Nibbana. The training methodology includes the systematic teaching of Tripitaka, analysis of dhamma and discipline, and personalized meditation recommendations. The retreat also offers one-to-one communication with instructors.

Monsoon Season at Rideekanda Forest MonasteryMonsoon Season starting from the month of October to December in Matale, Sri Lanka brings a more meditation-friendly environment that creates suitable cold weather, monotonous rainy sounds, and feasible light conditions. It helps to enhance the mood and capacity of meditation practitioners to carry out their practices effortlessly. Gloominess, mist, and the dew light bring more freshness and a relaxed mind that helps in healing both body and mind functions. Monotonous rainy sounds trigger the alpha brain wave functions, which helps in tranquilizing the mind. Almsgiving and Opening Ceremony of Accommodation BuildingThe newly constructed three-story building in the Rideekanda Forest Monastery is opened with the blessing of the Sangha. This building consisted of three stories which it use for the accommodations and the meditation practices. The chief meditation master and the chief incumbent along with other fellow Sangha community witnessed the inauguration of the newly constructed building. The main sponsor (Mr.Kalum and his Seneviratne family) and the other contributors organized almsgiving for the visited Sangha in the same building that has opened, and share all merits for their loved ones. |
