About Orthodox Theravāda

What is Orthodox Theravāda?

Orthodox Theravāda refers to the tradition that strictly follows the rules and guidelines laid out in the Pāḷi Theravāda root texts, commentaries, and sub-commentaries. This is the tradition practiced in centers such as:

• Sri Lanka Yogashrama (Na-Uyana)
• Mahāvihāra
• Pa-Auk Forest Monastery (Myanmar)
• Wat Khao Sanamchai (Thailand)

We are deeply committed to the Abhidhamma and the commentary explanations of the Buddha’s teachings.

This website aims to provide resources, books, and links to help those interested in studying and practicing Buddhism according to this classical and orthodox understanding.
