Ven. Bodhipalo Mahathero is very well respected monk for his deep knowledge and practice of Therevada Buddhism. Till now he has guided few hundred monks, throughout India. As of now, there are around 8-10 of his desciples in Aurangabad. He regularly takes training programmes for the junior monks, as Venerable feels that if monks are trained properly and if they practise and preach the correct dhamma, Buddhism will again spread throughout India. For this he has now planned to construct a separate residential Monks Training Centre to create more residential facility than now, which would be able to accommodate around 100 monks.

This is one of the major initiative of Lokuttara mahvihara as this activity was not there at all in the whole of Aurangabad city.

Under the guidance and leadership of Venerable, many shramner camps are being organised in the Lokuttara Mahavihara.

And the response for this is also very good. This shows that the popularity of Lokuttara Mahavihara and also thr respect for the Veenerable. The shramner camps are also organised for the small children as well. During this period, the Shramners are taught the basics of Buddhism and how to practice it in day to day life. Some of the laypersons have turned to monkhood after listening to the discourses of the most Venerable. Since the seats are limited for these activites, there is lot of backlog. So now most Venerable has decided to increase the residential capacity of the Lokuttara Mahavijara so as to accommodate more number of persons for such type of camps.
