DhammaJāta Arañña
DhammaJāta Hermitage upholds the Buddha's teaching that "caring for the sick is foremost among fields of merit." Centering on Giving (Dāna) and Service (Veyyāvacca) from the Ten Meritorious Deeds (Dasa Kiriya Vatthu), we actively promote social welfare initiatives including blood donation drives, free TCM medical consultations, volunteer emergency first-aid services, and environmental recycling.
