Sāsanārakkha Buddhist Sanctuary (SBS) is a training centre for Theravāda Buddhist monks to learn how to live in accordance with the DhammaVinaya (the name the Buddha gave His teachings) as enshrined in the early scriptures. SBS is a joint effort of major Buddhist organisations in Malaysia established in 2000 under the auspices of Taiping Insight Meditation Society (TIMS). SBS also provides a Retreat Centre promoting the spiritual, mental and physical health of its supporting community; thus reflecting a healthy Sangha-laity interdependence. Here, tough choices are made: “Shall I go for retreat, or shall I retreat completely and go forth?”
