We are delighted to announce that Anukampa has recently established a bursary fund with the wish to be able to offer some financial support to those who would otherwise be unable to attend Ajahn Brahm’s benefit events in the UK. All funds raised from tickets to Ajahn’s talks and retreats, over and above expenses, go directly towards establishing a bhikkhuni monastery in the UK.
If you have benefited from Dhamma teachings during Ajahn Brahm’s last UK tour, or at other times in your life, donating to Anukampa’s bursary fund is a wonderful way to express gratitude, as well as practice generosity towards those who cannot afford to attend. All donations to this fund are very gratefully received to help make some concessionary places available.
You can make a donation to the bursary fund here using a PayPal account or credit or debit card (no PayPal account is required).
A wonderful new opportunity to help others attend Ajahn Brahm’s UK benefit events!

Happy Sutta Retreat with Ajahn Brahmali
There are still a few places left on Ajahn Brahmali’s upcoming Happy Sutta retreat, taking place between 14th June – 23rd June in Schneverdingen, Germany.
The meditation and sutta-retreat is dedicated to the development of meditation and the study of aspects of the practice. Ajahn Brahmali will focus on the gradual training and therefore use the The Shorter Discourse on the Simile of the Elephant’s Footprint, Majjhima Nikāya 27 as the basis for the retreat. Other suttas will be used to clarify aspects of the teachings.
New Talk: Letting Go Into What Life Asks
On 8 January, Ven. Canda was invited to talk about her spiritual journey at Jill Satterfield’s yoga teacher training course in San Francisco. Jill takes a deeply meditative, integrative approach to yoga, and this was evident in her student’s depth of interest in meditation and the topics discussed. These topics included reconciling science and religious dogmatism, finding ones path, and working with doubt. The talk, as well as a guided body sweep is available through our YouTube channel.
Shaving for the Bhikkhuni Sangha
Brave Vero has pledged to have her head shaved for her 29th birthday in April to raise funds for Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project. Her donation webpage is live if you would like to give and all funds raised go towards establishing a monastery for bhikkhunis (fully ordained nuns) in the UK.
Wishing you a happy and peaceful festive season!
