Visitors in December 2024

It was a busy month with the samaneri ordination but we still made sure to welcome some new friends before the end of the year.

2 professors from Venerable Dhammananda’s Alma Mater, Santiniketan University in India, came to visit. Here in the photo with Ven. Dhammananda are Prof. Pankaj Panwar and Associate Prof.Dr. Banatanwi Dasmahapatra. It was such a joy to have them here with us.

Sikkhamana Dhammakhippa is telling them all about Venerable Dhammananda’s mother, the most Venerable Voramai Kabilsingh, the first fully ordained bhikkhuni in Thailand (Mahayana tradition).
