We are delighted to present a public screening\, along with a gui ded meditation and a Q&\;A session with Venerable Canda.\n\n\n \;\n \nShortly after Enlightenment\, the Buddha said: “I shall not come to my final passing away\, until my bhikkhus and bhikkhunis\, laymen and laywom en\, have come to be true disciples… ” Even though the Buddha establi shed the bhikkhunī order\, the line of female ordination in the Theravād a tradition died out in the 11th Century. Since then\, it is a common be lief that nuns can no longer be ordained.\n\n \;\n\nThe documentary p resents the story of women who\, in order to implement the Buddha’s teac hings\, however against the opinion of many monks\, have become bhikkhun īs – fully ordained nuns in the Theravāda tradition. The film’s pro tagonists are Bhikkhunī Kusuma from Sri Lanka (ordained in 1996 in Indi a)\, Bhikkhunī Dhammananda from Thailand (ordained in 2003 in Sri Lanka ) and Bhikkhunī Gautami from Bangladesh (ordained in 2016 in Sri Lanka) – the first women in their countries’ modern history to take full ord ination.\n\n \;\n\n\n\nThis event will be held in the Workshop Room in Kagyu Samye Dzong London\, for fifty people. Please arrive at 6.40pm\, to start promptly at 7pm.\n\n \;\n\nProceeds from the evening will help meet the rental costs of Anukampa Bhikkhuni Residence. \n\n \n\n \;\ n\n \;\n\nYou can read more about this film\, by Małgorzata Dobrowol ska\, at https://bhikkhuni-film.com\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nWe kindly as k that you do not contact the venue.\n\n \;\n\nNote:\n\n \;\n\n1.
