A Bhikkhuni monastery for the study and practice of Dhamma:
Putting the Sila in Silacon Valley
Karuna Buddhist Vihara 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. Our meditation center is located in Sunnyvale, CA, where we hold most of our public programs.
All are welcome (LGBTQ+ and BIPOC friendly!) to join us online or in person for meditation and Sutta Study every Wednesday night from 7:00-9:00 pm and on Saturday morning online from 9:00 am to 10:30 am for meditation, Dhamma talk and discussion on "How do we apply the Dhamma to THIS!?!"

***Location change for Saturday Programs starting in 2024***
"How do we apply the Dhamma to THIS!?!" will be held online and at the hermitage in Boulder Creek for regular community members, not at the meditation center. Monthly daylong retreats will be held at the meditation center in Sunnyvale and online. All regular programs will still be hybrid.
