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. 

Currently, all of our teachings have moved online due to Coronavirus precautions.

All are welcome to join us online for meditation and Sutta Study every Wednesday night from 7:00-9:00 pm and on Saturday morning from 9:00 am to 10:30 am for meditation, Dhamma talk and discussion on "How do we apply the Dhamma to THIS!?!"
