From Order Connection on Tue, 31 Jan, 2023 - 17:46

The hospital staff, who have been very, very kind in caring for Dharmavajri, said that she had wanted not to be disturbed last night. This morning she said the same thing and then shortly afterward died in her sleep. Some sangha friends gathered in her room, chanted mantras and refuges and precepts, and sat with her.
