About
A monastery-community of Early Buddhism
Dhamma Training Ground is a monastery-community of Early Buddhism, practising from the Pali Canon as the Buddha asked — tested in experience, not taken on faith. It is run jointly by monastics and laypeople, each holding a distinct and separate role.
Monastics teach. A lay council administers.
