An artists impression of the temple at Amaravati

The monastery is located in Hertfordshire, not far north of London. It was established on the site of an old school in 1984 and has grown into a large and thriving Buddhist community of monks, nuns, novices and lay people. This tour aims to give you an idea of the physical layout of the site.

For a more comprehensive history of both this monastic tradition and the monastery itself read the booklet prepared for the official dedication of the new Temple.

The start-up frame is about 90k so be patient (most of it is a site map which only loads once).
