Description of the Retreat

Newbury Buddhist Monastery is set on 150 acres of rolling countryside in the Wombat State Forest in Victoria, Australia. Located between Trentham and Blackwood – just 70 minutes from the heart of Melbourne city – the magnificent landscape and tranquil surroundings offer an inspiring backdrop for seclusion and meditation.

There is currently adequate accommodation available for both male and female monastics and lay supporters. The size of the property will allow for the construction of huts in clearly separated areas for Bhikkhus (Buddhist monks) and Bhikkhunis (Buddhist nuns) once the cost of the property has been met.

The Newbury Buddhist Monastery is based on the early teachings found in the Suttas (the Buddha’s teachings) and Vinaya (monastic rules) that are shared by all Buddhist traditions. Hence, we welcome monastics from all traditions and countries to stay.

The BSV saw a great need for this facility as there are currently very few forest monasteries in the world that support Bhikkhu and Bhikkhuni ordination and practice. There is a lack of monastic educational facilities in the world where women can ordain as Bhikkhunis and receive training according to the early teachings of the Buddha.

With its establishment, more aspirants, both local and international, can seek out full ordination. Those who wish to ordain, but are currently on waiting lists for accommodation at other monasteries, will have increased opportunities to develop their monastic vocation.

Since 2012, with the support of the BSV’s diverse group of members, along with a great community of international friends and practitioners, we have been actively raising funds to purchase the property and pay for necessary developments.
