Those of you who have visited the Bhavana Society Therevadan Forest Monastery in High View, W.Va., the first Therevadan forest monastery in North America, know what a special place it is. Led by internationally known abbot and Buddhist scholar Bhante Gunaratana, Bhavana is a rich source of Buddhist teachings rooted in the Pali canon and the Buddha’s original teachings. Within the past year, some lay followers have developed some social media sites that feature Dhamma videos of teachings by Bhante G and other Bhavana monks, Dhamma quotes and imagery.

I have spent a good deal of time at Bhavana Society, and highly recommend their teachings. Bhante Gunaratana (the founding abbott) whose name means “virtuous jewel”, is an inspiring leader.
Good to hear from you, Ann. It was good seeing you at the Metta retreat. Most of the Dhamma talks and Q-and-As from that talk are now up at the Bhavana YouTube channnel ~ Douglas
