The Bodhinyanarama monastery of the tradition of the monks of the forest was created in Tournon on July 7, 1977. It perpetuates a long line of monks living in the jungles of Asia, whose origin comes from one of the first disciples of the Buddha, named MahaKaspa, recognized as the first patriarch of all schools.
