SUMMARY:Sanghamitta Day Dhamma Talk by Ven Canda for Thames Buddhist Vihara
DESCRIPTION:As the years' end draws nigh and between the Christmas and New
 Year celebrations\, nestles a special day celebrating the great
 contribution of women to Buddhism!\n&nbsp\;\nSanghamitta Day is a major
 Buddhist festival held annually in honour of one of our Great bhikkhuni
 foremothers\, Venerable Sanghamitta Theri\; a fully
 enlightened Arahant\, who's father was the Great Emperor Asoka. Ven
 Sanghamitta Theri went to Sri Lanka to establish the Bhikkhuni Sangha
 there\, arriving by sea from India with a sapling of the Bodhi tree under
 which the Buddha awakened to the Four Noble Truths. The sapling was planted
 at Anuradhapura in 288 BC and is the world's oldest known living tree - and
 the Bhikkhuni Sangha is growing in strength in Sri Lanka\, and around the
 world\, today.\n&nbsp\;\n\nTo commemorate this auspicious event\, Ven Canda
 has been invited to lead an online Dhamma session\, open to all\, as part
 of a full day programme at the Thames Buddhist Vihara\, between 2:30 –
 3:45 pm. The theme is "Contentment and Letting Go\," and will include a
 guided meditation\, Dhamma talk and an opportunity for
 Q&amp\;A.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nJoin Ven Canda and the Thames Buddhist Vihara on
 Sunday 27th December\, for this special programme in celebration of the
 contribution of women to Buddhism and dedicated to all people everywhere
 interested in deepening their Dhamma practice.\n&nbsp\;\nFor the Zoom
