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.
