Sunnataram Buddhist Monastery: University Students Silent Retreat 2019, Bundanoon, NSW
Combined University Meditation Retreat, July 5-7 2019, Bundanoon NSW, Australia
Sydney University, Macquarie University, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and Australian National University (ANU) students combined for a 3 day silent winter retreat at Sunnataram Buddhist Forest Monastery in July 2019. Sunnataram holds retreats regularly for people who wish to deepen their meditation practise.
Set in peaceful and stunning gardens and forest adjoining Morton National Park in the Southern Highlands (two hours south of Sydney), university students practised meditation with friendly and knowledgeable Thai Buddhist monks; we enjoyed easing tired minds and bodies after a hard semester of study.
Retreat participants wake up early for chanting and meditation, there are plentiful and delicious vegetarian Thai meals served, Tai Chi to get the blood pumping, walking meditation in the forest, gardening and work meditation, and getting to bed early. The opportunities to practise meditation whilst sitting, walking and working, abound.
The monastery Abbot, Phra Ajahn Mana, shared informative and compelling dhamma talks and slide-shows, we learned much about Buddhist history and how this monastery come to be built over 30 years on an old orchard. We learned how important the forest and gardens are to the Thai Forest tradition and how the Buddha was born, enlightened, taught, and eventually died in a garden.
The monks and staff and volunteers have earned masses of knowledge, thorough dedication to meditation, and research on international tours; their teamwork and commitment to teaching Buddhism and sharing the monastery is apparent in all their offerings. The grounds display a thoughtful and delightful cornucopia of archaeology and art that reflect buddhism throughout the ages.
Wallabies, birds and wombats are regular visitors, and sitting by the fireside in silence, or meditating at dawn with like-minded people was a pleasing experience.
Thank you Sunnataram for allowing us to learn more about inner peace in such an earthy yet graceful setting.

THAI BUDDHIST MONASTERY 147kms FROM SYDNEY
Sunnataram Forest Monastery is a Theravada Buddhist monastery in the Thai Forest Tradition.
It was established in July 1990 and is situated on the outskirts of Bundanoon, 2 hrs drive from Sydney.
I spent most of Saturday, May 17th (2014) down on this property and soaked up the ambience. It's a beautiful natural setting, very peaceful... I can see why the outdoor meditation sessions are so popular here.
It was the perfect day to try out my new camera!

Outdoor meditation and Dhamma discussion in the midst of Morton National Park, Southern Highlands.
Orientation on the first night is very important for everyone in the retreat.
Buddhist chanting is to study the Buddha's teaching and calm down the mind. The chanting will be in Pali language with English translation.
Paying respect to the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha and monks is a way to express our gratitude for their invaluable teachings. Bowing down is a common practise to show respect in all Buddhist monasteries.
Morning and evening chanting will be led by monks and it is not too difficult to learn. 'Thank you so much. I had a wonderful retreat, happy and very impressed. Phra Ajhan Mana is very kind to every one and you looked after us very well. Kim,you make the garden so beautiful. With Love P'Nat' Jan 13
