I find Nuns so inspiring.

"May 7, 2011 marked an auspicious new chapter for the Aloka Vihara. Forty supporters gathered to celebrate the sisters' intention to take full bhikkhuni ordination on October 17 of this year and to then begin to create a training monastery for women in the Theravadan Buddhist tradition" (see MORE at http://www.saranaloka.org/whats_new.html)

Yay!

"The Sisters of the Aloka Vihara have just returned from England where they have taken official leave of the monastic community there in order to pursue bhikkuni ordination, which is not offered in the Thai Forest Lineage. Read an open letter from the Saranaloka Board which details the way forward and also announces the new Advisory Board for the Saranaloka Foundation" (see letter here: http://www.saranaloka.org/letter_jill-4-2011.html).

Double yay!
