Happy International Women’s Day! I’d like to take the opportunity to invite you to express our appreciation to all bhikkhunī who bravely thread the Theravada Buddhism path perhaps by sharing their YouTube channel so we may all enjoy the Dhamma teachings they are so generously sharing with us?
I will start: my deep respect and gratitude to @vimalanyaniVimalanyani Bhikkhuni - YouTube who gave me my Pali name Mettikā. By the way it doesn’t mean a little bit of metta, as it’d certainly sound to us Brazilians, but the name of a courageous bhikkhunī from the Therīgāthā verses
No one? Anyone? Of course we all knew and subscribed already to Ven. Vimalanyani’s You Tube channel, right!?
OK here goes another wonderful teacher who recently launched her own YT channel for sharing the Dhamma with us, so you might be unaware: Ayya Brahmavara - YouTube Perhaps check it out, subscribe and share.
Santi are still working on our YouTube side of things, so I can’t give a shout-out to the wonderful people I live with.
Instead I will bow my head to my dear Dhamma sister(s) Venerable Canda (and venerable Upekkha) at Anukampa in Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project - YouTube
This guided meditation and Dhamma talk by Venerable Karunika was very helpful to me:
Also in the past I’ve uploaded on YouTube a few talks by Ayya Khema on Jhanas, with improved audio quality over original:
I remember the Dhamma talks to be very valuable at the time I’ve listened to them.
Also thanks for sharing Venerable Vimalanyani and Ayya Brahmavara YouTube channels, I didn’t know about them. Already subscribed and gonna check them out.
May all Bhikkhunis and women practitioners be happy!
Interestingly, it was first Bhikkhuni Dhamma talk I’ve heard in my life, many years ago. So it has to be a little popular that I’ve stumbled on it! Gotta listen to it again because I have very lovely reminiscence and nostalgia about it!
Another wonderful talk by Ayya Medhenandi on fearlessness:
