Buddhist Society of Western Australia
Laywomen to fully ordained Buddhist nuns |
Its aim is to establish and support both male and female monastics to practice in a secluded, forest setting close to the original way in which monastics practiced in early Buddhist communities.
This forms the basis for nurturing teachers in the present and future to offer wisdom and insight derived from personal practice to a diverse and growing lay community.

In the spirit of reconciliation, the Buddhist Society of Western Australia recognizes the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land on which we live, work, and care. We pay our respects to Native Elders past, present, and emerging. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia.
Jhana Grove Retreat Centre
Jhana Grove is a dedicated meditation retreat center nestled in a valley of the Darling Scarp adjacent Bodhinyana Monastery in Serpentine, Western Australia.
It can accommodate up to 60 guests at a time, each guest with one's own room and ensuite. This allows a great deal of privacy and thus maximizes the benefits of Buddhist meditation practice.

There is also a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, as well as laundry, office, and storage facilities. A small caretaker's residence completes the center.
