Wat Suan Mokkh

Lamet, Thailand

Suan Mokkhaphalaram (from Pali Mokkhabalārāma, "Garden of Power of Liberation"), known as Suan Mokkh ("Garden of Liberation") for short, is a Theravada Buddhist monastery, retreat and meditation center in Amphoe Chaiya, Surat Thani, Thailand. It was founded in 1932 by the monk, religious teacher, and social reformer Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, who was a representative and pioneer of Engaged Buddhism. The site has an area of almost 50 hectares and is largely covered with forest, which sets it apart from the cleared, agricultural surrounding area.
