Phalañānī Bhikkhuni, Women's Day

Apparently she’s off on a trip to Germany.

I spent a day up on her mountain January of last year, while staying at a meditation Wat down in the valley below (north of Chiang Mai). She’s the only Theravada Bhikkhuni I’ve had the chance of having a serious conversation with, and it made me realise that the “Just Different” is important. I’d always liked Ayya Vayama, and I’ve been listening to her talks again over the past few months: Buddhist Teachings Meditation Podcast Video Buddhism Free Talks
I’ve also been accepting more invitations to event at my local Fo Guang Shan Temple, where all the monastics are female.
