Appears in Readings from the Pali Canon recorded in 2000 to mark the Digital Legacy project to begin transferring Dharmachakra’s archive to digital format!

From Order Connection on Mon, 17 Mar, 2025 - 12:46

We would like to propose Dharmacharini Satyalila as the International Order Convenor to replace Aryajaya, and we are asking for your blessing. Satyalila would become joint International Order Convenor with Vajrapriya.

Given the size of the Order today, it is impossible for all of us to have a personal connection with everyone appointed to a central position. At the same time, in asking for blessings for this appointment, we also give an opportunity for you to correspond with...
