Their preceptor is Ayya Gunasari, one of the worldā€™s very few Burmese Bhikkhunis, and the monks from Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara kindly support the ordination from the Bhikkhusā€™ side.

Congratulations to everyone involved, especially the three new bhikkhunis! May they all make great strides towards the ending of all suffering in this lifetime! :anjal: Great to see all this (good day for the sangha and making it just a bit more four-fold again).

P.S. must compliment the photographer(s?) also ā€“ very nice photos! :wink:
