BSWA Membership Levels

Associate Membership

This is our regular membership. Open to anyone, Buddhist or Non-Buddhist who wishes to support the aims and values of the BSWA. Many new members start with an Associate Membership as they first begin to learn and practice Buddhism. We welcome Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike to support the Society by applying for this membership.

Full Membership

Full Membership is open to practicing Buddhists who have taken the Three Refuges and the Five Precepts. You can take the precepts in person with the Spiritual Director, Ajahn Brahm, Abbott of Bodhinyana Monastery, or the Assistant Spiritual Director, Ajahn Hasapanna, Abbott of Dhammasara Monastery, or other delegated member of the Sangha of the BSWA. If you are unable to do so, you may click here to take the precepts online or at an upcoming Vesak event. Upon taking the precepts, fill up the application form below.
