About the event

Dhammadharini welcomes you to join the International Bhikkhunī Sangha for Sanghamittā Day

December 19th*  

The full moon night of December 18 is a special anniversary in Buddhism. It is the lunar anniversary of the arrival of the arahant Bhikkhuni Sanghamitta Theri on the shores of the beautiful isle of Sri Lanka, bringing the light of Dhamma, a sapling of the sacred Bo-tree from Bodhgaya, and the lineage of full ordination for women in Buddhism. All of the Bhikkhuni Sanghas in our world today trace their lineage back through their foremother Sanghamitta.

This year, we honor Sanghamitta Day by speaking with some of today’s pioneer Bhikkhunis who are establishing the Bhikkhuni Sangha in Europe.  

*All times and dates shown here are Pacific Standard Time  (PST) = California time.
