The Bodhi House: November 2011

About the old Bodhi House

The Bodhi House, former home to the Theravada Bhikkhuni Sangha and those women training in Buddhist monastic life, was a sanctuary of peaceful meditation located in the midst of the urban San Francisco East Bay in Fremont, near Lake Elizabeth and the Fremont Hub. It served as the "in the Bay" annex to our Aranya Bodhi Awakening Forest Hermitage in it's first years of development.

If you would like to visit our hermitage to offer dana and support or participate in our hermitage way of life together, please email: awakeningforest@gmail.com. To visit our monastics at our new "permanent" Dhammadharini Monastery in the Sonoma Mountain area of Penngrove, please email dhammadharini.monastery@gmail.com or tel/text: 707-583-9522.

Our monastics generally visit Fremont about once per month, coming to teach at Wat Buddhanusorn, as well as in Oakland with Stray Cat Sangha at the Peace Center, and in the South Bay at Vipassana San Jose aka San Jose Insight. See our Dhammadharini googlegroup announcements to learn of their visiting schedule, special programs, teachings and events, or go straight to dhammadharini.net for everything.

Metta to you ~

If you or someone you love are interested in the possibility of entering into monastic life and ordaining as a bhikkhuni in Theravada Buddhim, please see this page on our Dhammadharini website.
