== Penahbisan Bhikkhuni ==
Pada tanggal 22 Oktober 2009, Ajahn Brahm, bersama dengan [[Bhante Sujato]], memfasilitasi upacara penahbisan bagi [[bhikkhuni]], di mana empat umat Buddha wanita, Yang Mulia Ajahn Vayama, dan Yang Mulia Nirodha, Seri, dan Hasapañña, ditahbiskan menjadi Sangha Bhikkhunī Theravada Barat, dengan Yang Mulia [[Bhikkhunī Tathālokā]] melayani sebagai Pembimbing Bhikkhunī. Upacara pentahbisan berlangsung di Wihara Bodhinyana Ajahn Brahm di Serpentine, Australia. Meskipun bhikkhuni<ref>{{cite web|last1=Zoltnick & McCarthy|title=2600 Year Hourney History of Bhikkhunis|url=http://present.bhikkhuni.net/2600-year-journey/|website=Present Magazine|publisher=Alliance for Bhikkhunis|access-date=29 Desember 2017}}</ref> pentahbisan telah dilakukan di California dan Sri Lanka, ini adalah yang pertama dalam Tradisi Hutan Thailand dan terbukti sangat kontroversial di Thailand. Tidak ada konsensus dalam tradisi yang lebih luas bahwa penahbisan bhikkhuni dapat dianggap sah, karena terakhir kali dilakukan di Thailand lebih dari 1.000 tahun yang lalu, meskipun hal ini telah menjadi diskusi aktif selama beberapa waktu. Ajahn Brahm menyatakan bahwa tidak ada dasar sejarah yang valid untuk menolak penahbisan menjadi biksuni.{{citation needed|date=Oktober 2021}}

==Bhikkhuni ordination==
On 22 October 2009 Brahm along with Bhante Sujato facilitated an ordination ceremony for [[bhikkhuni]]s where four female Buddhists, Venerable Ajahn Vayama, and Venerables Nirodha, Seri and Hasapanna, were ordained into the Western Theravada bhikkhuni sangha.<ref>{{Cite web|title=History in the Making?|url=http://gobeyondwords.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/history-in-the-making/|publisher=Go Beyond Words: [[Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition#Publications|Wisdom Publications blog]]|accessdate=May 15, 2013}}</ref> The ordination ceremony took place at Ajahn Brahm's Bodhinyana Monastery at Serpentine (near Perth, WA), Australia. There is no consensus in the wider tradition that bhikkhuni ordinations could be valid, having last been performed in Theravada communities over 1,000 years ago, though the matter has been under active discussion for some time. Brahm claims that there is no valid historical basis for denying ordination to bhikkunis.
