About The Buddhist Society of Western Australia
(13 articles)
The Buddhist Society of Western Australia is a Theravada Buddhist group based on the forest tradition of SE Asia. It was started by a small group in 1973 and has since grown to become the largest Buddhist organisation in Australia. We have members throughout Western Australia, in all states of Australia and Christmas Island, and overseas in countries such as Canada, UK, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and USA.
Our members encompass a wide variety of backgrounds, ages and nationalities.We have Australians from Anglo, Thai, Malay, Germanic, Sinhalese, Italian, Burmese, Vietnamese, Dutch, Singaporean, Chinese, and other backgrounds.
This page is designed to introduce you to Buddhism, meditation, and the BSWA. You will find some general introductory information as well as details about our Monasteries, events, facilities, membership and supporting our organisation.

2009 Committee Portfolios
Updated portfolios - as of 1st March 2009 ... slight revisions may occur.
There have been several changes this year to the portfolios because:
1. The management of the BSWA has been streamlined in 2008, with stream lining of positions such as the Honorary Secretary Role, and
2. Of changes with what is needed to run BSWA in 2009, e.g. with the opening of the Retreat Centre, etc.

SPECIAL PROJECT: MEDITATION RETREAT CENTRE
Guided by the vision and leadership of Ajahn Brahm, Spiritual Director of the Buddhist Society of Western Australia and abbot of Bodhinyana Monastery, an important project is underway to benefit Australia's growing Buddhist community. The need for a dedicated meditation retreat centre has spawned from the rapidly growing numbers of lay people joining the Buddhist community in Australia who wish to attend meditation retreats.
