Monastery growth
The time has now come to expand the old barn, because the living space for both nuns and visitors is very limited. In the future, there will be a spacious meditation hall, a library, an office, a dana and dining room for guests, more rooms and a large sanitary area.

It was in this natural garden that the idea for the Lilienhof - the future Sirisampanno Monastery - was born.
Already in 2013, at a Theravada-Ag meeting in the Siddharta House in Bonn, Rother Baumert assured support for the project.
The foundation of the association then followed in 2015 at Hanna's family's living room with Claudius Essmann as board member.
After these important milestones, it was finally possible to acquire a demolition remnant farm in the Nienburger Bruch at the end of 2015.
