More About Moksha Sanga
We are a small but global spiritual community dedicated to the pursuit of awakening, self-liberation, and the realization of ultimate truth. Rooted in the non-dual wisdom of Buddhist and Hindu traditions, our order provides a structured yet flexible path for both lay practitioners and full renunciates.
Whether you seek to integrate monastic principles into daily life or fully devote yourself to spiritual practice, we offer guidance, discipline, and community for your journey.
Our mission is to cultivate wisdom, meditation, and ethical living while integrating the ancient path of liberation into the modern world. We emphasize direct realization over dogma, recognizing that enlightenment is not theoretical but experiential. The order exists to support and inspire those committed to self-inquiry, devotion, and the transformation of consciousness.
Our Purpose
Traditional monastic institutions in the modern world are few and difficult to access—especially in the West. Many monasteries are rigid, hierarchical, or have overly strict requirements, making them inaccessible to many who would love to join them.
The Moksha Sangha Monastic Order was created to offer a new path—a monastic-inspired way of life that allows for deep practice, personal freedom, and global accessibility.
We are here to preserve and embody authentic spiritual discipline while recognizing that enlightenment is not confined to monasteries alone. Wherever you are in the world, if you feel called to this path, know that you are not alone. We walk this journey together, in pursuit of ultimate freedom.

✅ A refuge for sincere seekers dedicated to awakening.
