The Nirvana Temple was born from Master Amnart Opaso’s idea and intention to find a land that can offer dedicated Dhamma practitioners who wish to attain nirvana a chance to ordain and practice. Master Amnart first established Buddha Dhamma Bhom Wimutti on 16th February 2016. The facility, which was later registered under the name Buddha Dhamma Bhom Wimutti Foundation in June, 2016, was operated inside a nine-room building located in Bad Zwesten, Germany. Since its first year of operation, the place has attracted a growing number of individuals who are interested in the practice of mindfulness meditation, including those who express the wish to be ordained and join the monastic life. The building, which has only a small teaching hall and a few rooms, was unable to accommodate the facility’s growing number of visiting Dhamma practitioners.

One day Master Amnart came across the 6-story high old castle, Schloss Dillich, located on the 6.7-acre estate surrounded by undisturbed and peaceful forestland. Master Amnart saw that the castle’s 35 rooms would be able to accommodate more Dhamma practitioners. At the same time, the large hall would make a perfect teaching hall. Master Amnart then decided that the castle would be ideal for the new monastery, which would welcome both Thai and International practitioners. Thus “Nirvana Temple” at Borken-Dillich, Germany, was established and officially opened on 15th July 2017. Just like its name, this place functions as one of the international Buddhist communities to guide the Dhamma practitioners on the path to Nirvana.
