      Santi Forest Monastery
    Santi Forest Monastery is a Buddhist community for monks, nuns, and laypeople. It's located on 150 acres of eucalyptus forest, cliffs, waterfalls, and caves adjoining Morton National Park in the rugged landsca pe of Australia's Southern Highlands, about halfway between Sydney and Canberra. It was established by Bhante Sujato, with his teacher Ajahn Brahm, the abbot of Bodhinyana Buddhist Monastery in Western Australia, as its Spiritual Director. Santi Forest Monastery is owned by Citta Bhavana Incorporated, a not-for-profit charitable association.

    The Buddhist Society of Western Australia is a community following the Dhamma of the Buddha. Established in 1973 to serve the Buddhists of Perth and Western Australia, today it is one of the most dynamic groups in Australia supporting Bodhinyana Forest Monastery at Serpentine, Dhammasara Nuns' Monastery at Gidgegannup, and a city centre called Dhammaloka in the northern suburbs of Perth.     		25
      SuttaCentral
    SuttaCentral aims at facilitating the study of Buddhist texts from comparative and historical perspectives. It focuses on the texts that represent "Early Buddhism", texts preserved not only in the Pali Sutta and Vinaya Pitakas but also in Chinese and Tibetan translations and in fragmentary remains in Sanskrit and other languages.

    SuttaCentral offers a gateway to this material by enabling users to quickly identify the Chinese, Tibetan, and/or Sanskrit parallels of any given Pali discourse – or vice versa. Having found that information, one can then can click on the relevant links and consult the actual texts, most of which are accessible from other web-sites. Later we also hope to provide direct access to available English translations.

    The system focuses initially on providing the correspondence data from the perspective of the Pali suttas; that is, given a particular Pali sutta, one can find the parallels in other textual languages. Finding parallels in the reverse direction will become possible in due course. In building SuttaCentral, we plan to work through the nikâyas, one by one, in the traditional sequence. At present the Dîgha and Majjhima Nikâyas are complete. Data on the remaining nikâyas will become accessible as the relevant research and data-entry work progresses.

    The data supplied here offer substantial improvements and additions over the pioneering work by Akanuma (Comparative Catalogue of Chinese Âgamas & Pâli Nikâyas, 1929), until now the standard reference work in this area. Nevertheless, there is still much room for improvement. We therefore invite other scholars working on this same early Buddhist material to provide input to SuttaCentral (see "Contacts"), so that the material displayed is continually refined for greater accuracy and completeness.         		32
