From 2 to 22 June 2025, Dhammakaya Europe will organize an ordination program in the UK for men who would like to join the monkhood for a brief time. On these information evenings, Saturday 25 January and Friday 28 March, you can ask any questions you might have about the program, and we will provide you with more information about the schedule and the requirements.
The program is accessible for all people who would like to learn more about the monk’s life in a period that can be combined with modern work life. In essence, it is an introduction to the monk’s life, although the ordination ceremony you go through is the full ceremony for full-fledged Buddhist monks (upasampada). This program will give you the opportunity to study Buddhism in depth and practice meditation under the guidance of Thai Buddhist monks. You can find more information about the ordination program in June right here.
The information evenings will be given by Lp Note and Lp Sander, both teachers on the June program. The evenings will run from 7.30 to 8.30 PM CET, which is one hour earlier in the UK. You can register for the evenings here. Please note that the link is on the top of the form! Also, note that this doesn’t mean you are applying for the ordination program: you can do that through the website of the program.
