Throughout the year 2026, we will arrange sangha meetings one Sunday morning each month. It's an open house, and everyone is welcome!

The board of DNBF is now asking for help from our members! The state has changed the requirements for receiving financial support, and we are only missing 8 members!

The board of DNBF and some members have now together described a dream for our future when it comes to property and buildings to promote inspiration, practice and the social.

The Buddhist Society of Norway (DNBF) is an society rooted in a forest tradition that goes back to early Buddhism and its practices − where Ajahn Chah from Thailand was a great role model. We actively work to spread the wisdom and values of this tradition, and we want to grow as a community.

Here is an important member update, information about member meetings and the dream we are now going to realize. It is now also open for registration for a 7-day retreat at Venabu in October 2025.

There is a lot going on in our society these days – and recently we received an extra inspirational invitation: our spiritual advisor and benefactor, Ajahn Brahm, has invited us to concretize our common dream of a center in Norway.
