Women’s Australasian Order retreat in New Zealand

 

In January 2008, 29 Dharmacarinis gathered at an environmental camp at Awhitu on the north island of NZ. Parami, a public preceptor from Scotland was leading the retreat on the topic of Atisha’s 7 Point Mind training.  Parami gave useful and inspiring talks each morning and led devotional pujas each night. Her strong desire to see the arising of the Bodhicitta in the world filtered through her dharma teaching and practice. We welcomed new Dharmacrinis ordained last year; including Vidyatara from Melbourne, Gambhiraja from Canberra and Buddhankapali from Sydney.  The Women's Order in Australasia plans to hold one of these retreats biennially.
