Now Online: Words of Awakening – An Evening of Poetry and Teachings from the Early Buddhist Nuns

with Ayya Anandabodhi

Tuesday, May 12th, 2020 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET

Join Ayya Anandabodhi, co-founding teacher of Aloka Vihara Forest Monastery,  for an evening of poetry and teachings from the new poetry collection, “The First Free Women” featuring verses of Awakening from the Early Buddhist nuns.

While these women lived long ago, their teachings and insights are as alive and relevant to us today as if they were sitting in our midst, sharing their experiences of Awakening with us directly.

Ayya Anandabodhi will share poetry and teachings from The First Free Women, verses of Awakening from the early Buddhist nuns. Through these poems, the teachings and insights of these enlightened women come alive, stirring us to wake up and let go of whatever we need to let go of in order to be free.
