The monastic discipline laid down by the Buddha doesn’t allow monks and nuns to handle money and they can only eat or drink that which is offered to them. Through the help of generous lay people, the monks and nuns in this tradition are able to continue their lives as monastics and spiritual seekers. The monastic community provides an important function for the lay community by caring for their spiritual needs and by providing moral and spiritual teachings and examples.

In this spirit, support in the form of work, money, foodstuffs, building materials or other help is both appreciated and needed. Your generosity helps the monastic community to survive and flourish, and brings you long-term benefit and happiness. Bodhipala Monastery Ltd is a nonprofit organisation, registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission, who act as steward of the monastery. Bodhipala Monastery Ltd manages all the financial donations on behalf of the resident monastics and for the development of the monastery. All donations go solely towards the monks’ requisites and the building of the monastery.

We appreciate and rejoice in your generosity

We welcome any donations and support people can give to the monastery and the resident Sangha of monks, novices and anagarikas. May this generosity be a cause for your continuing happiness, good health, prosperity and ultimate liberation.
