Sunday 27th April 2014 saw another milestone in the growth of the WA Theravadan nun order. The number of fully ordained nuns grew by four in a two-part ordination procedure. The first part was performed at the Dhammasara Nuns Monastery at Gidgeganup on the bare concrete slab of the future main Dhamma hall. The preceptor was a senior bhikkuni nun from Indonesia.
