Brahm learnt [[plumbing]] and [[bricklaying]] and built many of the current buildings himself. |

In 1994, Jagaro took a sabbatical leave from Western Australia and disrobed a year later. Left in charge, Brahm took on the role and was soon being invited to provide his teachings in other parts of Australia and South-East Asia. He has been a speaker at the International Buddhist Summit in [[Phnom Penh]] in 2002, and at three Global Conferences on Buddhism. He also dedicates time and attention to the sick and dying, those in prison or ill with [[cancer]], people wanting to learn to [[meditate]], and also to his [[Sangha]] of monks at Bodhinyana. Brahm has also been influential in establishing Dhammasara Nuns' Monastery at Gidgegannup in the hills north-east of Perth to be a wholly independent monastery, which jointly administered by Venerable Nirodha and Venerable Hasapanna. |

Ajahn Brahmavamso Mahathera (dikenal sebagai Ajahn Brahm), lahir dengan nama Peter Betts[1] di London, Britania Raya[1] tanggal 7 Agustus 1951, adalah seorang Bhiksu Budha Theravāda. Saat ini Brahm menjadi Abbas di Biara Bodhinyana, di Serpentine, Australia Barat, Direktur Spiritual di Buddhist Society of Western Australia, Penasihat Spiritual di Buddhist Society of Victoria, Penasihat Spiritual di Buddhist Society of South Australia, Pelindung Spiritual di Buddhist Fellowship di Singapura, Pelindung di pusat Brahm di Singapura, dan Pelindung Spiritual di Pusat Bodhikusuma di Sydney.
Masa-masa awal
Peter Betts berasal dari latar belakang kelas pekerja dan mengenyam pendidikan di sekolah atas Latymer. Ia mendapat beasiswa untuk belajar fisika teori[2] di Universitas Cambridge pada akhir tahun 1960.[3] Setelah lulus dari Cambridge ia mengajar di sekolah tinggi selama satu tahun sebelum melakukan perjalanan ke Thailand untuk menjadi seorang bhiksu dan berguru pada Ajahn Chah.[1] Brahm ditahbiskan di Bangkok pada usia dua puluh tiga oleh Abbas dari Wat Saket. Dia kemudian menghabiskan sembilan tahun belajar dan pelatihan dalam tradisi meditasi hutan di bawah Ajahn Chah.
Biara Bodhinyana
Brahm diundang ke Perth, Australia oleh Perhimpunan Buddha Australia Barat untuk membantu Ajahn Jagaro dalam mengajar.[4] Pada awalnya mereka berdua tinggal di sebuah rumah tua di pinggiran Perth Utara, namun pada akhir 1983, mereka membeli lahan pedesaan di daerah perbukitan Serpentine seluas 393.000 m².[1] Tanah tersebut dijadikan biara Bodhinyana (nama diambil dari guru mereka, Ajahn Chah Bodhinyana). Pada awalnya, biara Bodhinyana tidak memiliki bangunan yang berdiri di atas tanah, dan karena hanya ada sedikit pemeluk Budha di Perth pada masa itu, dan sumbangan yang sedikit, para Biksu tersebut membangun sendiri biara mereka untuk menghemat uang. Brahm belajar pekerjaan pertukangan dan membangun banyak bangunan yang bertahan sampai sekarang.
