Bodhicitta Dakini Monastery

Address: Golden Valley,Near Launceston   TAS 7304

Affiliation: Bodhicitta Foundation NGO / Kalyanamitra Foundation
E-mail: moondakini@hotmail.com

Find on:
Teacher: Venerable Ayya Yeshe  
Notes and Events:

We are a socially engaged Centre of contemplation that is slowly forming with the aim of providing training, shelter, emotional and spiritual support to Western nuns, monks and the lay community based around the traditional model of the four fold Sangha of nuns, monks lay women and laymen (and non binary people) founded by the Buddha.

 We will emphasise gender equality and nun driven leadership, because currently women are left out of most positions of power in Tibetan Buddhism and have historically received less support and education.

We invite you to be a part of this exciting project to offer teachings and establish the Dharma in the West to create a more compassionate, peaceful and sane world.

Our aim is to create a monastery and retreat Centre where monastics in the Tibetan tradition, who currently have to pay money to pay in lay Centres can live in the Vinaya, do deep practice and study as well as social service and gain the insights necessary to preserve the vast and profound Teachings of non sectarian Tibetan Buddhism.

We will also draw inspiration and influences from other traditions such as the Thai Forest tradition (such as using alms bowls, doing the Kathina cloth, alms round, tudong pilgrimage, living in simplicity in nature with a monastic routine), as well as the Plum Village Thich Nhat Hanh tradition, (beginning anew, non violent communication, communal harmony, mindful eating and living).

Bodhicitta Dakini Monastery is a non sectarian Mahayana monastery that welcomes people to stay and meditate and support our resident monastics. We welcome all people, but are a female led temple with a focus on contemplation and social justice work occasionally outside the monastery.

Golden Valley is a rural locality in the local government area of Meander Valley in the Launceston region of Tasmania. It is located about 59 kilometres south-west of the town of Launceston

The monastery began its growth in 1983. Named after the great teacher Ajahn Chah, Bodhinyana means the ‘wisdom of enlightenment’. With the generous help and support of our dedicated lay community the monks have built Bodhinyana to establish a home beneath the trees, in harmony with nature.

The monastery is home to around twenty monks, residing in huts scattered over 242 acres. We have a large meditation hall, where members of the public are welcome to spend time enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the atmosphere here.  There is also a kitchen & dining hall, and accommodation for anagarikas (white robed, long-term residents) and guests.

Bodhinyana provides an ideal environment of solitude and simplicity in which the Sangha and residents can dedicate their practice to the cultivation of virtue, meditation and wisdom.
