The Monastic Community
Bhikkhunī Tisaranī
Ayya lives in Sirisampanno Monastery since 2015. She went for refuge in the Mahayana tradition in 1997 and went into homelessness in 2011 with her family's permission. Among other things, she lived and practiced intensively in a natural garden for one year. The following years she practiced in Germany, France and Thailand.
Ordination as Samaneri took place on the 23rd of March 2019 in the Theravada tradition in Sri Lanka, in the presence of 30 fully ordained monks and 10 nuns.
She received Upasampada, full ordination as a bhikkhuni, from Venerable Ayya Tathālokā Maha Theri on the 19th of Sept. 2021 at Aranya Bodhi Hermitage in California.
Sāmanerī Sirinandā
She has been part of the monastic community since January 2021.
She came into contact with the Dhamma in 2014 and has since practiced in monasteries of the Theravada tradition in Germany.
In 2019, the wish arose in her to leave the lay life. After a year of training as an Anagarikā at Sirisampanno Monastery, she received the Samaneri ordination from Ayya Sucinta on the 2nd of April 2022.
Anagārikā Sīsūpacālā
After many years of spiritual searching, she arrived at Sirisampanno Monastery on July 10, 2025. Following her deep wish to begin the path of a nun and to experience renunciation of worldly life, she received the ordination as an Anagarikā on August 23, 2025.
Anagārikā Mettikā
Mit 16 Jahren nahm sie das erste Mal an einem christlichen Retreat teil und begann kurze Zeit später mit der Meditation. Nach einiger Zeit entdeckte sie die buddhistische Praxis und ihre Liebe dazu. Sie nahm regelmäßig an verschiedenen Retreats teil und unterstützte Mönche während deren Aufenthalt in Europa. Mit 25 Jahren hat sie sich nun entschlossen, selbst den Weg der Nonne zu beginnen und erhielt am 15.11.2025 die Anagārikā Weihe in Oddechowo in Polen.
