Spiritual Director: Ajahn Kalyano
Notes and Events:
Buddha Bodhivana Monastery is primarily a training monastery for Buddhist monks (bhikkhus), novices (samaneras) and postulants (anagarikas), but it also provides a supportive environment in which individuals, families, visitors and residents are given the opportunity to be in contact with the principles of the Buddha’s teachings and to cultivate those same qualities in their own lives. The monastery is a place to study, practice and cultivate the central elements of the Buddha’s Path: generosity, virtue, mental cultivation, wisdom, and compassion.
As our principal function as a monastery is to train monastics we wish to minimize time attending to administrative duties. Email is therefore reserved solely for making requests to stay at the monastery. We are unable to respond to general questions about Buddhism whether these concern school projects, college research or are of general interest.

Notes and Events:
The Karen Buddhist monastery in Bendigo is much more than a place of worship.
The monastery is:
- A community centre for Christian Karen as well as Buddhist Karen
- A cultural centre
- A place where newly arrived refugees (Christian and Buddhist) can stay while they look for long term accommodation
- A place where visitors to Bendigo can stay
- A residence for monks and nus
As there is no other Theravada Buddhist monastery in Bendigo, our community welcomes Thai and Sri Lankan Buddhists, as well as Australians with an interest in Buddhism.
Our current monastery is a small house with a garage we use as a prayer hall.
We have bought a large block of vacant land and we have applied to Bendigo City Council for permission to build a prayer hall and residence for monks, a kitchen, and a house where newly arrived refugees can stay.

About Buddhist Vihara Victoria
Buddhist Vihara Victoria Inc. (BVV) was established in 1994 under the guidance of the late Venerable Gangodawila Soma Thero. The association is affiliated to the Siri Vajiragnana Dharmayathanaya in Sri Lanka. From its inception, there were three major objectives for setting up this Vihara:
1) Setting up an education, research and Information centre to make the Buddha’s teaching (Dhamma) available to all who come in search of it
2) To be a focal point for the next generation of Australians to learn and follow the Buddhist way of life including practices of Dana (letting go), Seela (virtue) and Bhavana (meditation).
3) To safeguard and protect the welfare of all living beings and promote inter-communal peace, harmony and amity.
The Vihara, which started at Noble Park grew in numbers until, the pressing need for more space made it necessary to move to more spacious premises.
A residence for the monks was built on a five acre property in Berwick and the Vihara moved there in March 2001 and was named Sakyamuni Sambuddha Vihara.
Plans are underway to construct a hall to provide space for all those benefiting from the services provided by the Vihara.
These include; the Dhamma school, meditation programs, public discourses, cultural and religious festivals. This will also house the library and research facility.
