Nā Uyana Monastery

Nā Uyana Āranya Senāsanaya (නා උයන ආරණ්‍ය සේනාසනය, meaning 'Ironwood Grove Forest Monastery') is a Buddhist forest monastery in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka, associated with the Śrī Kalyāṇī Yogāśrama Saṃsthā. It spreads over more than 2,040 hectares (5, 000 acres) of forest on the 'Dummiya' mountain range and is residence to about 150 Buddhist monks. Nā Uyana is so named because of the old Ceylon ironwood forest that forms part of the monastery. The monastery is the main monastery complex and meditation centre of the Nā Uyana International Buddhist Association. The main meditation method practiced by Nā Uyana is based on the method introduced by Pa-Auk Sayadaw in the Pa-Auk Forest Monastery tradition.
