Putting the Sīla in Sīlacon Valley
A Bhikkhuni monastery for the study and practice of Dhamma
Karuna Buddhist Vihara (KBV or Compassion Monastery) is a Theravada monastery dedicated to sharing the Buddha's teachings leading to a truly happy life. Our hermitage is located near Boulder Creek, CA in the redwood forest midway between the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Cruz.
