Teacher



Venerable Amaranatho is a wandering Buddhist monk meeting the needs of the modern world, while offering the timeless teaching of the Buddha in culturally appropriate ways. Whether you encounter him in a workshop, retreat or personally, his approach is to respond to the situation as it unfolds. He facilitates a safe space enabling you to recognize your own wisdom, through co-exploration, playfulness, and love. He is interested in finding ways of being authentic while recognizing that everything is already okay.

By exploring the dynamics of the way we relate to each other, we can start to recognize the limitations we impose on ourselves and access more energy, abundance, peace and wisdom. He has had a traditional Theravada training as an alms mendicant and lived at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in England for 10 years, before going back to the roots of the forest tradition to wander.

Supported by the BSWA and the Cambodian Buddhist Society of WA - Ven. Amaranatho will be running retreats, workshops and courses at Nollamara and Kelmscott.

Call for Nominations for the BSWA Committee 2012

It's that time of year again when we encourage you, as a member, to offer your talents to help continue the good work of the Buddhist Society of WA in the coming year. Our reach across the globe has never been greater and your individual contribution can make a big difference.

You are welcome to nominate for the following committee positions:

• President
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Secretary
• Assistant Treasurer
• Assistant Secretary
• Web Services Coordinator
• Buildings and Maintenance Coordinator
• External Publicity  and Media Coordinator
• Fund-raising and Events Coordinator
• Technical Operations Coordinator

What’s Involved
To find out more about each position please go to our website:

If you would like to talk to someone before you decide please contact Dennis Sheppard, President, on 9367 3918 or Peter Smith, Hon. Secretary, on 9381 5270.


Here are some general details about being on the committee:
• You’ll need to attend a committee meeting, usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 1.00 pm, bi-monthly.
• Meetings usually last about 3 hours.
• You are asked to submit a short written report on your portfolio by the Wednesday before each meeting.
• There are two aspects to your committee work, one is running your own portfolio, the other is contributing to the overall committee as a team member.
• Much of the committee discussion is done via e-mail to reduce travel and meeting commitments. It would therefore help enormously if you have ready access to e-mail.

The Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday 10th March 2012 at 4.30pm and nominations close at 5.00 pm on Friday 10th February 2012.
