Brahma Vihara Arama Buddhist Monastery, Bali, Indonesia

Stunning Buddhist Monastery
We travelled here after an hour or so swimming in the public swimming baths, Holy Hot Springs. It was a mere 20,000 Ruplah and being female was provided with a Sarong, my little boy wanted to wear one too and they allowed him to join in! This was my first temple and it was breathtaking, there looked to be a school trip and the children all smiled politely and said 'Hello' in English. There were English translations readily available on description boards and it's so far removed from a Christian Church that you immediatedly feel a sense of culture. We travelled from Kubutambahan and had a great day out!

Stunningly beautiful, scerene and quiet
Loved this majestic monastery complex, perched high up in the hills. Partly damaged by earthquakes in the mid '70's, it is now part sparkly new and pristine, and part comfortably old and worn. Part of the new additions include a representation of Buddha under a Bodhe tree, and 2 pagodas destroyed by the earthquake. You can stay here and attend classes. A meditation class was in progress the day we visited, which meant the vibe was wonderfully quiet and respectful. Magical place. I loved it.

revisited after the pandemic
i visited this place in 2019, this year when border reopened,i had a short trip to north bali in september,i came again.so it was another visit after the pandemic.actually it is not on my list.that day i check out of my hotel in lovina,and had a tour around north bali,i want to visit aling-aling waterfall,but suddenly,a heavy rain came,i cancelled, and chose to come here. luckily after twenty minutes, the rain stopped,i can take some good pics here. when i finished.i noticed there is a banner hung on the wall of the office,it said now they serve veggie and non veggie food. i want to have lunch,so i asked the staff there where can have vegetarian food,she said not at the office,turn left and walk about five minutes, there is a warung called pindras, they serve vegetarian food. so i went there. i ordered nasi goreng with sambal matah,ice blue tea and khinkali.it was surprised that they have georgian food.all are tasty,only the iced blue tea bland, i love khinkali,very delicious,its inner stuffing is pumpkin.anyway i found warung pindras not at TP list again,so left comment here.the monastery itself and the warung are worth a visit.
