Greetings, all! With the blessing of my monastic brother, Bhante Rahula, I wanted to share this beautiful website, created by him, Ajahn Mudito, Ayya @marajina (two other wonderful monastic siblings), and many others, gathering all Spanish-speaking Theravāda Dhamma groups and many Spanish Sutta resources in South America and Mexico into one place. It’s an amazing gift; feel free to share with those who might benefit! May all beings be well.
HA! I know that here in Spain we have a new monastery, which is of the forest tradition, and which I really wanna go visit and spend some time at, if they let me. There are some other Theravada groups as well, but I am not familiar with them.
Ajahn Mudito shared this news today on the Sudhavari Monastery website..
We are pleased to announce a new initiative created to unite and connect the diverse Theravada Buddhist groups in Latin America and Europe (Spanish and Portuguese speaking groups). Our purpose is to encourage dialogue, resource sharing, and mutual support in the noble task of spreading the Dhamma.
The theravada.lat website was created to be a central point of support. There, you will find information about nearby groups, book recommendations, and a complete calendar of live activities. This calendar displays—already in your local time zone—the various online practices open to the public. Simply choose the one that interests you most and join with just one click.
The platform also includes a directory of Buddhist centers and a virtual library. In the future, we plan to offer a space dedicated to small groups that do not yet have the structure to maintain their own online presence, allowing them to also publicize their activities.
To strengthen this network, we hold monthly meetings via Google Meet and maintain a WhatsApp group where leaders and organizers can exchange experiences and develop joint projects (these spaces are restricted to leaders and not open to the general public).
We invite everyone to visit the website and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to connect with the Dhamma.
