Bhikkhuni Dhammananda: A Lesson on Forgiveness

Author Cindy Rasicot writes, “I have been blessed in this life to have a wise and loving Thai Theravada teacher. Bhikkhuni Dhammananda Mahatheri defied convention to become the first woman fully ordained in the Thai Theravada Buddhist tradition. In the twenty years since I have known Venerable Dhammananda, she has taught me everything I know about coping with my anger and practicing forgiveness.”

Cindy shares a teaching on forgiveness from Bhikkhuni Dhammananda, excerpted from her new book, This Fresh Existence: Heart Teachings from Bhikkhuni Dhammananda, published by Windhorse Publications in April 2024.” []
