A Thank You card from Dhammadharini

12/04/2026 by A learning buddhist...

It was a pleasant surprise when I saw the postcard in my mailbox. I opened the envelope on the spot and smiled seeing that everyone looked well, especially Ayya Sobhanā. I also admired the laypeople who supported and played a part in the monastery.

I am glad that I am able to play a small part by making a donation to them.

I wish for the Bhikkhuni Sangha to not only continue to flourish but also to understand and put the Buddha’s 2,500-year-old teachings into practice.

My thanks to Bhikkhuni Vandana and the monastics for the postcard.

“Bhikkhus, dwell with yourselves as an island, with yourselves as a refuge, with no other refuge; with the Dhamma as an island, with the Dhamma as a refuge, with no other refuge. ~ SN 22.43
“Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87
A place to discover and explore the discourses of the Buddha.
I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
