 Founded by
Ven. Bodhichitta
With a vision to promote Buddhist
practices giving specific emphasis on
Meditation and Inner Peace, the “Nisala Arana” Australia opened its doors
approximately four years ago to
facilitate its mission.
The vision has continued and hence the
“Nisala Arana”: Sri Lanka Project
commenced in December 2010. The location
for the modest forest monastery is in
Molkava in the Agalawatta district and
borders the scenic Sinharaja Rain
Forest.
Ven. Bodhichitta
will be resident at the Centre and will
be available to provide understanding of
Lord Buddha's teachings as well as
instructions in meditation.
Ven.
Budhicitta’s concerns for
the order of nuns in Sri Lanka has been
the main inspiration to established
Nisala Arana as primarily a monastery
for nuns, there by giving them the
opportunity to study and practice the
Dhammma. Emphasis will also be given to
train ladies who wish to take up the
robes, laying the foundation for them to
study the Dhamma, to practice and to
serve others. |

THERE’S MORE TO LIFE
Modern living is fast-paced and enticing but we
will never find the inner peace through the
latest gadget or accessory. Buddhist meditation
focuses on giving up our attachments to these
everyday comforts and conveniences. Through
giving up the things we are attached to and
correcting our negative behaviour, we can
achieve a higher level of consciousness and a
greater understanding of the meaning of life.
Meditation, and following the Dhamma allows us
to look beyond ourselves to a greater existence.
