This is a brief announcement to let people know that plans are afoot to help a community of nuns from the Amaravati and Chithurst lineage be established in the United States. Over the coming months various visits have been planned for members of the nuns' community to the Bay Area, in order to facilitate this effort. For many years there has been a great deal of interest for something like this to take place, and many people have been gathering together to help support and establish a nuns' sangha here in California.

More information will become available on this page as time goes by. To learn more about this, please visit the website for Saranaloka Foundation, which is an organization that was founded in order to foster a growing relationship with the siladharas (ten-precept nuns) of Amaravati and Cittaviveka Monasteries by supporting them on their teaching tours in the United States. Saranaloka hopes to provide facilities for a community of nuns to reside in the United States full-time.
