Invitation to the first Bhikkhuni Ordination (Upasampada) at Santi Forest Monastery on Sunday, 4th September 2016 at 2:00 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are happy to announce the first Higher Ordination for Novice-Nuns (Samaneris) at Santi \u2013 fully supported by our Spiritual Director Ven. Ajahn Brahmavamso.<\/p>\n

Weather permitting, the ceremony will take place inside our Big Cave, alternatively at the main building (Vihara) in our upstairs shrine room.<\/p>\n

Dana will be offered at 11:00 am \u2013 All are welcome!<\/p>\n

Due to the Vassa period (Rains Retreat) the confirmation by the Bhikkhu Sangha of Bodhinyana Forest Monastery in Serpentine, near Perth, will take place there on Sunday, 18th<\/sup> September 2016. In order not to disrupt the serenity of their Vassa, this will not be a public event.<\/p>\n

Santi Forest Monastery is delighted to be able to offer this rare opportunity to the following candidates:<\/p>\n

> Samaneri Vajira from Santi Forest Monastery
\n> Samaneri Dhammavati from Malaysia
\n> Samaneri Santacari from Adelaide (Dakkhina Dhammatthala Vihara<\/em>)<\/p>\n

All three candidates have spent a minimum of two years as Samaneris with their respective teachers.<\/p>\n

The ordination will be headed by Ven. Lieu Phap (Ven. Viditadhamma), a very senior and accomplished Bhikkhuni from Vietnam.<\/p>\n

There will be a total of eight Theravada Bhikkhunis (local, interstate and from overseas) and two most senior Mahayana Bhikkhunis in the Korean Tradition.<\/p>\n

Pictures and a video will be available on our website soon after the event.<\/p>\n

Your support will be very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

With metta and blessings of the Triple Gem,<\/p>\n
