Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project

Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project was founded by Venerable Canda in 2016 at the request of her Teacher and Spiritual Adviser Ajahn Brahm. Anukampa aims to promote the teachings and practices of Early Buddhism and to develop an inclusive, harmonious "Forest Monastery," where women can train towards full (bhikkhuni) ordination - a milestone for gender equity and a historic first in the UK. Anukampa means the wise compassion that alleviates suffering and its cause.

Beautiful meditation, especially for a beginner. Not really a Metta meditation, though there’s plenty of loving-kindness baked in. And not much space for silence. But such warm and gentle guidance into present awareness of the body and mind
