The Dhamma is offered freely, with joy, so all can partake.
This is a timeless tradition.
Many people have asked about how to make a donation to the hermitage however, so we’ve provided some information below. All offerings/gifts will support the nuns’ daily requisites and the running costs of the hermitage, and are very gratefully received.
The options for making an offering are:
- PayPal
If you have a PayPal account, here’s a direct link for your convenience.

To avoid unnecessary fees (except for the currency conversion fee if you’re sending from outside of Australia), choose the option ‘Send to friends…’. Then, if you have no PayPal Balance, select the bank account (not the card) connected to your PayPal account, as this will avoid the fees.
- Direct Bank Transfer*
From within Australia:
Bank: Bank Australia
BSB: 313 140
Account Number: 12265133
Account Name: Viveka Hermitage
*If you live outside of Australia, please contact us for the details you need to make an International Bank transfer.
- Gift Card
For those who wish to offer a gift card, a Woolworths Supermarket e-gift card can be utilised for food and other items to support the nuns.
Here’s a link for your convenience.
Please contact us for the phone number you’ll need to supply in the process, so as the e-gift card can be sent through to us directly.
- Sponsor a meal
If you’d like to sponsor a meal (dana) for the nuns, we can order it from a local business who caters and delivers ready made meals – a $50 donation would cover for the nuns’ main meal of the day.
And if you’d like to dedicate the dana offering for someone in particular or for a special purpose, just email the hermitage with details and the nuns will make the special dedication with their mealtime chanting.
