About the Event :
This International Women's Day, we are really grateful to have the opportunity to invite Venerable nuns from 3 different traditions to join us as we bring the Buddhist community together to share gratitude to all women who have nurtured and touched our lives. We also hope that this can help build connection for our Dhamma sisters with the community of Venerable nuns as we share, cultivate and dedicate merits towards world peace.
