About Ayyā Santussikā
In 1999, Venerable Santussikā made the first of many trips to Thailand to visit her son who was a monk at Wat Pah Nanachat at the time. In 2003 Ayyā formally became a student of Ajahn Pasanno. She received samaneri ordination in 2010 and took the bhikkhuni ordination in 2012 at Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara with Ayyā Sudarshana as her preceptor. In 2012, she was supported to establish the Karuna Buddhist Vihara, a Theravada monastery for bhikkhunis located in Boulder Creek, California, where she practices alongside Cittānandā Bhikkhuni. They currently live at the new hermitage property in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Her teachings are primarily based on the suttas of the Pali Canon as they apply to everyday life and lead to awakening.
