Dear Venerable monastics & Dhamma friends,


Tomorrow, Feb 12th, is the half moon, the eighth day following the February Magha full moon, recorded and passed down as lunar anniversary the great arahanti Mahā Gotamī Therī and the Courageous Founding 500 Great Arahat Bhikkhunis entering their great final nirvana (their Parinibbāna) together. Ayya Tathaloka, with her great appreciation for their early bhikkhuni arahati disciples of the Buddha, welcomes all Venerable members of the Bhikkhu and Bhikkhuni Sangha and Dhamma friends who would like to join our Dhammadharini Sangha on this Half Moon Atthami Uposatha in offering patipatti puja, the gift of our practice, on the evening of Sunday February 12th.


Ayya's Meditation & Dhamma talk offering will be on the theme "In the Presence of Nibbāna - Nibbānasantike" -- reading and contemplation of the Mahapajapati Gotami Theri Gatha and Theri Apadana in light of the Satipatthana teachings & practice to which our winter retreat is dedicated, together with our past winter retreat's study of and practice with the Nibbāna Sermons.

We will offer this special session of our Winter Retreat Uposatha program as patipatti puja, honoring our founding foremothers through the gift of our Dhamma practice.

Or you may watch on our YouTube channel. The program will be Sunday evening from 7-9pm Pacific Standard Time. Please see below for more time zones or use a time zone converter for your local times. A recording of the event will be available afterwards on our YouTube channel.
