DHAMMAPADA - Vs. 74

The conceit and craving of fools grows
as they claim for themselves
undue authority, recognition and reward:
their falsity affects their longing,
they wish to be seen
as powerful and discerning.

The monastery is a residence for Buddhist monks and those who wish to train as Buddhist monks. It also functions as a spiritual sanctuary for interested friends who may visit for varying periods of time.

Tisarana monastery is set in 108 acres of pasture, woodland and marsh 15km from Perth in the countryside a little more than an hour west of Ottawa, Canada. The land was purchased in the fall of 2006.

Ajahn Viradhammo and Ajahn Kusalo are the senior monks.
