Anenja Vihara Morgen 6 GR
Morgen 6 Rettenberg Abbess: Ven. Phalanyani Bhikkhuni We are very happy to have Ayya back with us after a month and a half! Our dear Julia, who lived with us for a year, drove to Düsseldorf to see Ayya's mother on Saturday and drove back yesterday with her and her dog Winila. The three arrived safely yesterday afternoon after the long journey. Winila, who had been diligently provided with treats by Ayya's mother, immediately felt at home with her flock of nuns. Even Siha, who was admittedly a bit nervous, already seems to be making friends with her again.

m.me/AVBSKLSEL Bandar Sri Damansara Founding teacher: Ven Bhikkhuni Sumangala Venerable Sumangala Bhikkhuni, supported by a group of Buddhist practitioners founded Ariya Vihara, which was officially registered on 10 August 2015.

Our first program was the Thursday night Metta Bahavana session and then follow by the Ariya Rainbow Kidz Program. As more programs were offered and participants increased, there is constraint in space especially for trainees and bhikkhunis during vassa period.

Ayya Anuruddha Ontario
Perth Ontario On behalf of our community, we would like to express our heartfelt joy and gratitude for your tireless support and encouragement on the Path. For many years, you have reached out to help us with bhikkhuni projects, requisites, and travel expenses. And this month, again we received your spontaneous offering of dana – which arrived soon after we completed our 10th anniversary as a Theravada bhikkhuni monastery. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu, Anumodana! It so happens that during this time our forest is being ravaged by the destructive tent caterpillars, so we really felt the stream of your kindness coming from afar to renew and uplift our spirits. We also give thanks for your many years of commitment to the growth and sustainability of the Bhikkhuni Sangha in this new millenium. Your generosity as a leadership alliance raising awareness and support creates a field of goodness for bhikkhunis around the world. Although we may face many challenges in sustaining the female monastic presence for Theravada women, your faith in our Dhamma work acts as a beacon of light that helps to strengthen and bless our communities. May whatever joy and goodness arise from our practice bring forth the riches of the Path in your lives, for your well-being and happiness. May your hearts be filled with peace.

Ayya Canda
ROYSTON I just want to express my sincere gratitude for all the work you do in supporting Bhikkhunis and nuns. It is deeply moving to hear how you spend the incoming donations and that so much of them go directly to the nuns.In particular, may I again thank you for the support you were able to give to me personally, ie, my return flight to California this year. The journey came at a pivotal time on my path and provided me the much needed and sustaining sense of being part of a global sangha. I felt a deep connection to the sisters there, to the extent that Ayyas Anandabodhi and Santacitta became additional advisers to Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project in the UK! I am also delighted to be returning next year to spend the majority of the winter retreat with them, helping me ensure a healthy balance between service and solitude.Such exchange plays a vital role in strengthening the Bhikkhuni Sangha at this relatively new stage, especially when many of us have little access to elder sisters on the path.

Ayya Santussika
Castle Rock, WA We received the dana for the upcoming ordination–anumodana! We so much appreciate the work you are doing to help the bhikkhuni sangha grow and flourish. It is humbling and heartening to have friends in the Dhamma supporting us as we work to awaken–not only for ourselves but for all those who will benefit from the presence of fully ordained female monastics in the world. Venerable Santussika Bhikkhuni began exploring meditation in the late seventies. In 1996 she joined a Kriya yoga-based center, where she deepened her meditation practice and made spiritual development the central theme of her life. In 2002, she received a Masters of Divinity degree after completing a four-year interfaith seminar program to become a minister. The program emphasized meditation, study of the major world religions, meticulous ethical conduct, and development of the skills required in ministry, such as spiritual guidance counseling, support for the ill and dying, teaching, and conducting ceremonies. In 1999, Ayya Santussika made her first trip to Thailand to visit her son who had ordained there as a monk in Ajahn Chah’s international monastery, Wat Pah Nanachat. As a guest at the monastery and mother of a monk, she was able to spend a lot of time with the monks and learn from many of Ajahn Chah’s students. Over the years, she traveled to Thailand once or twice each year to stay in various monasteries, learning from master teachers including Ajahn Jayasaro, Ajahn Anan, Ajahn Dtun, Luang Ta Maha Boowa, and Ajahn Pannavaddho. During those years, she also visited Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery many times and in 2003 formally became a student of Ajahn Pasanno. In 2004, she spent time in Australia with Ajahn Brahm and at Ajahn Kalyano’s monastery near Melbourne where she met Ajahn Plien, whose teachings strongly impacted her development.

Also, “right discipline” is one of the main principles of the Buddha teaching. With right discipline our path towards liberation is shortened.

Dhamma-Stiftung Hassel/ Pracht The monastic institution developed in Hassel Monastery, a landscape area measuring several hectares. The core of the complex are the half-timbered houses and buildings of the small village of Hassel, whose beginnings - according to historical material - can be found in the Middle Ages (16th century). The small old village has developed into a monastic hermitage. Secluded, idyllically grown on the mountainside of a clearing, surrounded for miles on all sides by meadows and forest and only accessible via forest paths, it offers the ideal conditions for a secluded religious life, quiet practice and inner contemplation. When renovating the buildings and the monastery village, emphasis was placed on building biology, ecology and allergy-friendly construction and furnishings.
