We’re deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this year’s Kathina Celebration at Aranya Bodhi Hermitage. Your presence, offerings, and joyful spirit made the day truly meaningful — a beautiful expression of community, generosity, and shared devotion.
For those who couldn’t attend in person, we’ve created a short 5-minute video capturing the heart of the celebration — from the puja, pindapata, and parade to the offering of the Kathina robe.

Over 250 Buddhist nuns from around the world will receive full bhikṣunī ordination in Thimphu, Bhutan from November 15–19 2025, as part of the inaugural Global Peace Prayer Festival.
This historic milestone marks a significant step in addressing long-standing monastic inequality in the Vajrayāna tradition, where women have traditionally been limited to novice status.
The ordination will be led by the Je Khenpo and will conclude the multi-day festival that brings together practitioners, teachers, and leaders from all Buddhist traditions in a shared aspiration for peace
Walk in the footsteps of the Buddha’s awakened women disciples 🌸
