Open to BSV Members & Non-Members
The retreat is fully booked. Waitlist now open.
About the Teacher:
Ajahn Nissarano was born in 1952 in Perth, Western Australia. In 1997, he was ordained by Ajahn Brahm as a novice monk and a year later took full ordination. This year will be his 29th Rain’s Retreat, Vassa. He lived in Sri Lanka from 2006 to 2019, for almost 14 years. During that period he spent 8 years living in a cave on the side of a beautiful mountain, surrounded by forest and going for alms round to the village below. It was an idyllic experience, though not without its challenges, that he will always treasure. He returned to Australia regularly to teach, primarily at the Buddhist Society of Victoria. In January 2021 with the blessing of Ajahn Brahm, he became the resident Senior Monk at Newbury Buddhist Monastery, about 90 km from Melbourne, which has now become his base
