Metta Forest Monastery (also known as Wat Metta) is a meditation monastery in the lineage of the Thai Forest Tradition. Founded in 1990 by Ajaan Suwat Suvaco, it has been under the direction of Ajaan Geoff (Thanissaro Bhikkhu) as abbot and meditation teacher since 1993. Please visit dhammatalks.org for Dhamma teachings, information about Buddhism, meditation and the Thai Forest Tradition.
The Monastery is outside of Valley Center, California at the end of a road in an avocado orchard surrounded by the mountains and chaparral of northern San Diego County.
Being a monastery, its primary purpose is to give men the opportunity to ordain as bhikkhus to practice in line with Dhamma and Vinaya (training rules) taught by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago. Laymen and laywomen are also welcomed at the Monastery to practice in line with the Buddha’s teachings. https://www.watmetta.org
