Santacittarama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santacittarama is the name of the Italian Theravada Buddhist monastery of the Forest in the Ajahn Chah lineage located near Rome. It was established in the 90's by the former Italian Bhikku Ajahn Thannavaro, a disciple of Ajahn Sumedho's, near Latina in the south of Rome. Later, with the important contribution of the Thai community, a location was found at Poggio Nativo in the beautiful countryside of Sabina and a larger monastery was established with separate buildings for visitors and Kuti's in the wood for resident and visiting Bhikkus. After the disvesting of the previous Abbot, Ven. Ajahn Chandapalo was invited to become the new abbot, a charge hold to the present day.
