Hot news just in!
Today, July 11th, 2024, Anukampa Grove Bhikkhuni Monastery became officially registered as a “Place of Worship,” thanks to the help of our trustee Ken. This means that we are legally recognised as a Buddhist Monastery that can take up to six monastic residents ~ we may also get a little tax reduction!
Even more importantly perhaps, this is the first step towards Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project becoming registered as a visa-sponsoring body for overseas religious workers and ministers of religion ~ in other words, the first hurdle to being able to train overseas aspiring nuns has been surmounted.
All in due course, of course, because the training in renunciation is a delicate task that cannot be rushed ~ but it will be made easier once nationality is no obstacle!
