A Nuns Vihara run by lay supporters in North America?
Posted: Mon Jul 08, 2013 1:23 am
I'd like to make a suggestion about establishing a Theravada Nuns Vihara in North America, which offers accomodation (e.g. kuti) and facilities in a safe, quiet, suitable place for sincere Theravada 10-precept (and probably also 8-precept) nuns who truly practice according to the Buddha's teaching. It can be somewhat similar to Gotami Vihara in Malaysia (http://snfwrenms.wordpress.com/). Hopefully it will be run by the lay supporters. Aspiring female renunciates and lay women devotees can probably also stay in the vihara when space is available.
I hope such a vihara can be established to support the Dhamma practice of the nuns, so that they can truly live a simple renunciant life focusing on their practice according to the Dhamma Vinaya.
Your input has been and will be appreciated. Metta to all!
