Monastery

Participated 30th anniversary dharma assembly of Avatamsaka Monastery for about one monthWe are very happy and feel auspiciousIt should be leveled as Six star place to stay, learn and cultivateIn the mid-1980s, a Buddhist group, mostly a Vietnamese, bought a second floor as a Buddhist temple in the southeast of Calgary City. Because there is no leader, in order to find the best master of buddhism ; finally devoted it to venerable master Xuanhua. Then Master Xuanhua accept the new Buddha Temple. Soon its capacity is not large enough to accept a vast amount of people to cultivate , therefore moved to the city center in 1986 (a total of 30,000 square feet). In order to inherit the great vision of the Master, it will be expanded to 70,000 square feet to serve as a school, a boudoir, a meditation hall, a Buddhist temple, and a vegetarian restaurant, museums, clinics and so on.八○年代中期有個多數是越南人的佛教團體，於卡加力城東南，買一棟二層樓作為佛堂。因無僧眾領導，就祈望能找到最好的導師；最後決定請上人接受這新佛寺。不久不敷使用，於一九九六年遷移到市中心（共三萬平方尺），為了繼承上人的遠見，將擴建到七萬平方尺，以作為學校、寮房、禪堂、佛殿、素食館及診所等用途。

Really nice walking trails, quiet, nice to be out in nature . Just outside the city.

It feels odd to leave a place of worship a review, but this monastery is truly one of a kind. If being the only Maronite site on this continent to build such incredible shrines for our saints isn't enough for you, then come for the people. Everyone from Abouna Pierre to père Marwan and the administrative team will make you feel like family. If I could leave more stars, I would. And if you are reading this review, put your phone down, head to DAYRNA, take a break to pray and don't forget to say hello to the people there!

Best location for meditative prayer. So many quality religious books and articles for an affordable price.

I visited the Monastery today and had a life changing experience. The monastery is located in a very beautiful and magical area. The view and ambiance is tranquil and peaceful. I met with Horana Anuruddh who helped me through a guided meditation and insight discussion. He was very calm and wise. I will definitely be visiting regularly. The most beautiful Monastery I’ve ever seen.

Wonderful Buddhist monastery.Venerable Sona's damma talks and the meditation retreats are great.

This is the place to take solace in your fortune to be on the planet
