Due to popular demand for BSWA 9-day retreats, it has been observed that all spots have been filled within a few minutes when the retreat is first open to BSWA Full Members. To avoid confusion to other BSWA members and non-members who might be waiting to book a week after retreat is open, with effect from Jan 2022 Retreats, bookings to BSWA 9-Day Retreats will be open to BSWA Full Members only. Equivalent status is given to members of Buddhist Fellowship Singapore, Buddhist Gem Fellowship Kuala Lumpur, Mahindarama Pali School Penang, Terengganu Buddhist Association, Ehipassiko Foundation and Bodhinyana International Foundation (BIF) of Hong Kong.
