Who We Are
About the Society, its traditions, monastics and community
The Bhavana Society is a community of monastics and lay people living according to the precepts and practices laid down by the Buddha, Siddhattha Gotama, over 2500 years ago. The Pāli word “Bhāvanā" means mental cultivation and the Society is dedicated to the practice of Theravadan Buddhist meditation which refers to the oldest school of Buddhism. Located in rural West Virginia, the monastery and meditation center provides opportunities for people to come to organized retreats as well as personal retreats and personal visits of varying lengths.
