About Rocksprings
Rocksprings is an eighty-five acre meditation retreat sanctuary following the Thai Forest Tradition of Ajahn Mun. It is a branch of Wat Dhammabucha, a Theravada Buddhist Temple in San Antonio under the guidance of the most Venerable Luang Por Samarn Saengsri.
We are located in a remote valley approximately 140 miles west of San Antonio in the middle of the Texas Hill Country, where the silence and serenity, surrounded by 2,000 foot peaks, offer a rare opportunity to take the next step in one’s meditation practice.
The sanctuary, which is committed to serious meditation practice and Dhamma studies, is maintained by two full-time resident anagarikas, Eddie and Janet Rock, who support visiting meditators by providing food, lodging, meditation guidance, and instructions based on the fundamentals of Theravada Buddhist spiritual practice as originally taught by the Buddha 2500 years ago.
We provide the opportunity for you to schedule your own retreat, whether it is only a quick visit to look around and relax for a day, or a long-term personal retreat. For those staying overnight, we ask that the Eight Precepts be followed, which are the foundation of Buddhist training and a prerequisite to successful meditation practice.
