Bhikkhu Vihara and Kuti Project
We would like to inform our Dhamma community that, with the substantial support of a generous donor for which we are deeply grateful, ATBA is embarking on a project to build a Bhikkhu Vihara and a New Kuti at Vimutti Monastery. This meritorious building project is being undertaken to provide suitable accommodation for the Sangha and to support the growth of our spiritual community at Vimutti.

Refurbishment of Mahathera Kuti
ATBA undertook a project to improve the accommodation for our senior monk at Vimutti. There was a growing need to refurbish the existing Mahathera Kuti to make it age-friendly and equip it with appropriate facilities that take care of the health and safety of our senior resident monk. The spa bath was removed and a more accessible shower space put in place. The dilapidated worn-out fence along the walking meditation pathway at the Mahathera Kuti was replaced with newly cut bamboo.
Women’s Bathroom Block

A new bathroom block for female residents and visiting nuns in the women’s kuti area was completed in April 2025. There used to be a shower room at the Sala for women. During retreats and major events, when the number of lay women staying at the monastery increases, sometimes significantly, that single shower was inadequate. The new block has two showers and a toilet, as well as a separate section for visiting nuns, with facilities specifically designed to suit monastic needs. After completion of the project, the shower room at the Sala was repurposed for Sangha use.
Construction began in early October 2024. Project cost amounted to about $175,000 covering costs of getting consent, work above ground and interior fittings, and including a sum of $33,603 to upgrade the monastery sewage system as required by the council.
We would like to thank the generous donors who made offerings towards this project.
