dc.description.abstractThis paper is a summary of the presentation provided to the Australian Sangha Association Annual Conference held in Canberra 11-12 May 2023. The full bhikkhuni ordination has been provided to Buddhist women in the Theravada tradition in Australia since 2009. My study seeks to document the perception, views and experiences of Australian Theravada Buddhist nuns, monks, and laity on a range of gender issues debated internationally. Through semi-structured interviews, this study compares and contrasts participants’ experiences with the findings of the existing research, providing a deeper understanding of Australian monastic life for women.
