The Buddha and Women's Ordination - Cancelled
Saturday 25 June 2022 11am – 3pm
What did the Buddha actually set in place for the ordination of women?
What happened in the centuries afterwards right through to the present day?
Join a day workshop with Nagasuri who will explore Analayo's excellent book, The Foundation History of the Nuns' Order and look briefly at Sangharakshita's essay, A Wreath of Blue Lotus. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions. After a vegan lunch (bring food to share) we will do a Sevenfold Puja to celebrate Sangharakshita's vision for an Order in which anyone who is effectively going for refuge and practising within the Triratna tradition can be ordained: this being true to the heart, the very spirit of the Dharma.
Booking will assist us to know how many people will be attending this by donation event

How much does the class cost?
We don't charge a fixed price for our events but instead invite you to make a donation to the centre to help us cover our running costs.
A donation of $10-20 would help us to cover our costs, but everyone is equally welcome, even if you cannot give anything at all.
