There are those who have begun
on the path to freedom
yet return, out of desire, to bondage.

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.
