<p>I am a student from the UK interested in pursuing PhD research focused on Bhikkhuni ordination within Theravada Buddhism.

<p>I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or resources regarding these monasteries. I am particularly interested in gaining firsthand experience with Bhikkhunis to enrich my research and inform my future academic pursuits.</p>

You might get other answers here -- https://discourse.suttacentral.net/ -- A problem for this site, perhaps that one too, is that this is a "Question and Answer" site and you're not asking a question.

# Seeking Information on Theravada Bhikkhuni Monasteries in Canada, USA, and New Zealand

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-06-14)

I am a student from the UK interested in pursuing PhD research focused on Bhikkhuni ordination within Theravada Buddhism. As part of my research, I am seeking information on Theravada Bhikkhuni monasteries located in Canada, the USA, and New Zealand, where fully ordained Bhikkhunis reside and practice.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or resources regarding these monasteries. I am particularly interested in gaining firsthand experience with Bhikkhunis to enrich my research and inform my future academic pursuits.

Ask the same question on the discussion forum of the [Sutta Central website](https://suttacentral.net/?lang=en) (the proprietors carried out the first modern Theravāda *bhikkhuni* ordinations).

And surely your first choice is to approach said monasteries *directly*? Why muck around with random internet questions when you can simply look them up and contact them directly?
