A place of practice, simple and quiet
Metta Vipassana Monastery is a Buddhist monastery in Bilpin, NSW, where the monastics practise each day and where everyone is welcome to come and sit, learn meditation, and listen to the Dhamma.
Our primary practice is Mettā, loving-kindness meditation. We do not leave the world behind; we learn to walk through it with a lighter heart.

Dōgen on the Autumn Moon
In autumn even though I may see it again, how can I sleep with the moon this evening? – Dogen
Reflection
To Truly Live
Life is not merely something to pass through; it is something to be lived.
Reflection
Knowing When to Stop
Not every movement is progress, and not every commitment is worthwhile.
Love, forgiveness, and tolerance.
