Best Places For Bhikkhuni Ordination
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2013 1:51 am
Hello all, thanks for reading.
I am an American student studying in Thailand. After years I've finally decided to enter a monastic life. I was hoping someone out there might be
able to point me in the right direction. I know there are a handful of places to ordain in Thailand (I'm interested in studying with Dhammananda)
but I am afraid of getting left behind by language barriers. I am also worried about the heat, mosquito's and the facilities in Thailand.
I am currently talking with Aranya Bodhi in California, they seem great but it is taking a very long time to communicate back and forth.
I just want to find a place that is peaceful, full of information and studying. I don't want to be limited on just one teaching, and I want to learn multiple
meditation techniques like yoga, pranayama breathing, things like that.
I'm not strict on what country it's in so long as I can learn in English. I am also limited on money, I don't own or carry money, everything I will do will be
through donations that I have already set up, so it can't be a place where I have to worry about annual visa fees (like australia! $$$)
I would really appreciate any advice or guidance in my search.
Sincerely,
Brittany P.
