DHAMMAPADA - Vs. 144

Let the dread of endless mediocrity
spur you into great effort,
like a well-trained horse
encouraged by the mere touch
of the whip.
Relinquish the burden of endless struggle
with unapologetic confidence,
with purity of action,
effort, concentration,
and by conscious and disciplined
commitment to the path.

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.
