| 摘要 | Birken Forest Buddhist Monastery, or S tavana (Pali: "Cool Forest"), is a Theravada Buddhist monastery in the Thai Forest Tradition near Kamloops, British Columbia. It serves as a training centre for monastics and also a retreat facility for laypeople. Its abbot is Venerable Ajahn Sona. Main building (vihara) at Birken Forest Monastery, near Kamloops, BC.Birken Forest Monastery has been developed in three distinct phases: Phase 1: Bhikkhu Sona and Bhikkhu Piyadhammo established Birken in a sparse two-room shack in the mountains near Pemberton, BC, along the Birkenhead River in 1994. This was the first monastery of the Thai Forest Tradition in Canada. Phase 2: The monastery moved to a new location, northeast of Princeton, BC. Facilities were expanded and included running water, electricity, and carpeting, as well as a refrigerator, sink and furnace. It was a significant improvement, but still quite austere. Phase 3: The monastery moved to its final location south of Kamloops, BC in 2001, a property which included a partially-finished main building. The resident community then finished work on the building and has since been continually enhancing it in addition to adding cabins and improving road access. "S tavana" was added as an alternate Pali name for Birken in 2007. |
