Bodhinyana Monastery

Home / our locations / Bodhinyana Monastery

Bodhinyana monastery is nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Darling Range, near the small town of Serpentine, Western Australia. 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.
