THE EXPERIENCE
A place to practise.
Fale's archived notice documents a substantial Theravada residential programme, with meditation teaching and optional temporary renunciation over several weeks. This is a different practice tradition from the Chan camps elsewhere in the register. The evidence is old and later republished by another institution. It supports historical inclusion only, pending a current local source for teaching and admission.
What you can practise
- samatha-vipassana
- Buddhist study
- temporary renunciation
Where you will stay
Temple meditation-centre accommodation was limited in the old notice.
Time & commitment
Historical one-month blocks or roughly two-month full period.
Joining from overseas
Overseas admission unconfirmed. Historical meditation and ordination schedules had separate dates; current eligibility unknown.
English not established. Confirm instruction, translation and orientation for your specific programme.
