Avoid speaking harshly to others;
harsh speech prompts retaliation.
Those hurt by your words
may hurt you back.

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.
