winter Retreat

@ Arahanist Vihara kitchener

A stone pathway made of irregular, smooth river stones gently ascending through a misty forest, symbolizing the Liberation Path. Each stone is engraved with one Pali term: Sīla, Samādhi, Paññā, and Nirodha, the words crisply carved and slightly darkened for contrast. Moss and delicate ferns frame the edges of the path, while tall, slender trees fade into soft fog in the distance. Early morning diffused light filters through the canopy, creating a peaceful, luminous atmosphere. Photographic realism with a low, forward-facing angle at ground level, the first stone in sharp focus and subsequent stones gradually softening into bokeh, giving a sense of progression, depth, and quiet determination.

About our Founder & Guiding Teacher

Bhante Mudita Bhikkhu Thera is the Academic Director of the Buddhist College of Canada, Lead Instructor of the Gautama’s Liberation Path program, and Head of Theravāda Buddhism for the Buddhist Association of Canada. A Theravāda monk, scholar, and mystic, he is dedicated to Arahanism — the original path of Gautama the Supreme Arahant.
Trained in Myanmar and Thailand, Bhante Mudita spent over a decade in intensive meditation, textual study, and solitary retreat. His teaching integrates Sīla, Samādhi, and Paññā, guiding practitioners toward full independence (anissito) and liberation (vimutti) from the world.
Residing in a forest hermitage in Ontario, Canada, he embodies the principle that the Dhamma is lived, verifiable, and practical, not merely theoretical.
Further Study: Bhante Mudita’s works are available for scholarly reference on Amazon, published under Ven. Mudita Bhikkhu Thera. Explore his books →
