About Us

Welcome to the Buddhist Society of Canada, dedicated to fostering a strong and supportive community rooted in the Theravada tradition. Our mission is to create a harmonious and inclusive space where people from all backgrounds can come together to learn, practice, and grow in the Dhamma.

We are committed to nurturing the spiritual development of the lay community through offerings such as meditation instruction, guided sessions, Dhamma talks, and retreats. Alongside this, we are equally dedicated to supporting the monastic community in Canada.

One of our core goals is to establish a Forest Monastery rooted in the Thai Forest Tradition. This monastery will provide a place for monks to ordain, train, and practice in accordance with the principles of the Thai Forest Tradition, all while being supported by a strong and engaged lay community.

Together, through mutual support and shared commitment, we strive to cultivate a thriving community grounded in the teachings of the Buddha.
