with whom did ajahn brahm started the monastery in western australia? with metta kris p.s. ajahn brahm is a great teacher. i met him 2003 while i was traveling western australia. i discovered, just one day before the rains retreat started, the small sign "buddhist monastery" next to the road (traveling south) ... and just followed the road up the hill and then to the monastery. i arrived .... not one human being was there. i parked my car and walked around a bit ... i believe it was in the afternoon ... just short before i was ready to leave, a small asian lady appeared and invited me to the big party which should happen the next day, right before the rains retreat. i decided to come back the next day.... and so all started. i met some amazing people, and when i returned from my trip south, i returned to visit serpentine as well as the nuns monastery, where sister ajahn vayama was head nun at the time. she is a great teacher as well. ajahn brahm was perfectly right to chose her to set up the nuns monastery in western australia. i was very sad when i heard that she had become sick. love to all the monks and nuns of both monasteries. some of them maybe remember me. at the time i lived in Germany, today i live in the USA. i always considered Australia my soul-country! ;) Kristina
