This Giving Tuesday, I invite us to come together to support Dhammadharini’s vision & mission of creating a sanctuary for Buddhist practice and training, for Bhikkhunis, for aspirants, and those who wish to draw near to them—a simple but empowered place, that embodies compassion and a deep commitment to fully living & sharing the teachings of the Buddha together, in-person and as a global community.

Contributions from us will help the Dhammadharini Support Foundation & our Dhammadharini Bhikkhuni Sangha live, preserve, and share these invaluable teachings & noble path.

Why Dhammadharini Matters

Dhammadharini is dedicated to:

• Uplifting the Bhikkhuni Sangha: Supporting the presence of senior bhikkhuni teachers, bhikkhunis and samaneris in training, and aspirants exploring monastic life, together with opportunities for laypeople who deeply value the presence and teachings of bhikkhunis, as they dedicate their lives to the Dhamma.
• Creating a Welcoming Space: Offering an environment where everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity or gender, can have access to the Bhikkhuni Sangha, whether access to ordination, or access to receiving the Buddha’s teachings as uniquely from bhikkhunis, and the benefit that brings to deepening their practice.
• Unveiling & Sharing Ancient Wisdom: Revitalizing the Theravada Bhikkhunis' history, lineage and traditions, and with this as an essential part, the Fourfold Community of the Buddha for all of us now, and for the generations to come.
