Na uyana aranya cave kuti.jpgNā Uyana Aranya Senāsanaya (Sinhala: නා උයන ආරණ්‍ය සේනාසනය, meaning ‘Ironwood Grove Forest Monastery’) is a Buddhist forest monastery in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka, associated with the Sri Kalyani Yogasrama Samstha. It spreads over more than 5000 acres of forest on the ‘Dummiya’ mountain range, and is residence to about 100 Buddhist monks. Na Uyana is so named because of the old Ceylon ironwood forest that forms part of the monastery.
