Those who have visited Dhammasara Nuns Monastery over the past year have seen the abbot, Ajahn Vayama, decline in health, to the extent that she has given many of her duties over to the other bhikkhunis. Now, performing her remaining responsibilities for Dhammasara is more than she can manage. Consequently, Ajahn Vayama has decided to formally resign her position of abbot and spend the next five months away from Dhammasara in a supporter's house in Perth with absolutely no teaching or management duties. She will be accompanied by Venerable Seri who will take good care of her teacher. During their absence, Dhammasara Nuns Monastery will be operating as usual in the capable hands of Venerables Nirodha and Hassapanna. At the end of the Rains Retreat in five months time, Ajahn Vayama will reassess the situation.
Ajahn Vayama will not be available during this period, and daily dana to her and Venerable Seri will be offered by prior arrangement only. Please phone Venerable Seri after the 1st July to make arrangements. Another way you can offer support at this time is to make donations to Dhammasara Nuns Monastery Expense Account, specified for Ajahn Vayama and Venerable Seri's maintenance costs.
In this way we can provide Ajahn Vayama with the totally stress free environment that is most conducive to her health.
