We are a Buddhist spiritual community (Sangha).
Our village is a community of the Fourfold Sangha, where monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen come together.
Our village is a place of spiritual practice dedicated to following the Noble Eightfold Path and putting compassion and love into action.
In our village, monks, Buddhist practitioners, and visitors from all walks of life live together, work together, and share everyday life.
We warmly welcome everyone who wishes to experience and embrace this way of life.
Come and join us at Happy Village, where we can share happiness and grow together! :-)
