Our Story
A Sanctuary of Ancient Wisdom
Founded in 1958 by the Balinese monk Bhikkhu Girirakkhito, Brahmavihara Arama stands as a beacon of Dharma in the hills of Banjar. Blending Balinese architectural motifs with traditional Buddhist stupas, it serves as a testament to the harmony of diverse spiritual heritages.
Our monastery is more than just a tourist destination; it is a living, breathing community dedicated to the practice of Vipassana meditation and the preservation of ancient Buddhist teachings in a modern world.
