Happy International Women's Day! I'd like to take the opportunity to express my especial appreciation to all bhikkhunī who bravely thread the Theravada Buddhism path 🙏🌷

Theravada is the tradition which "speaks" to me and that I've been delving into since 2007, but which sadly isn't very supportive of women monastics historically... things are a-changing, though, and these women are here NOW sharing the dhamma with us!

Deep respect and gratitude 🙏🏽💗 to Ayya Vimalanyani youtube.com/@vimalanyanibhikkh who gave me my Pali name Mettikā.

YouTubeVimalanyani BhikkhuniAyya Vimalanyani is a German bhikkhuni and has been ordained for about 8 years.

If you'd like to support her, you can send her an item from her amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.de/hz/wishlist/ls/1XPK17P0MDCQH?ref_=wl_share

By the way Mettikā doesn't mean a little bit of metta (love), as it might sound to us Brazilians 😅 but the name of a courageous bhikkhunī from the Therīgāthā the Verses of Senior Nuns 🥰🙏 Check them out on @ReadingFaithfully_org readingfaithfully.org/?s=theri
