Offering Pavarana*

Dear Venerable Bhikkhunis:

On behalf of the Alliance for Bhikkhunis, we invite and welcome you and your monastic community to let us know of your essential requisite needs beyond what is supported by your lay supporters and community. As much as we are able, we would like to contribute to these needs to maintain your monastic life path and practice. In addition to the four requisites of robes, food, shelter and medicine, we may also be able to contribute to transportation, education and training, and other extra-requisite needs or projects. We invite you to inform us of these needs by sending an email to info@bhikkhuni.net describing your project and the cost involved so we can begin communicating with you and evaluating your requests. We are interested in supporting bhikkhunis as much as we are able to with the support that is contributed to us. Our web page is designed to share information about your needs, garner further financial and other support from the lay community, and celebrate your successes. We realize that this is a vulnerable time in the remarkable world-wide revival of female monasticism and we are excited to do what we can to help. Please consider this an invitation good for the life of our organization.


*Pavarana: an invitation to monastics to apply for support
