Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project

Welcome to a Treasure Trove of Dhamma teachings by Ajahn Brahm, Ven Canda, Ajahn Brahmali, Ayya Anandabodhi and more! 

We are passionate about organising retreats, talks and discussion groups, that present the Buddha's teachings in an authentic, relevant and accessible way and welcome your generosity to support our aims.

Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project was founded by Ven Canda in 2016 at the request of Ajahn Brahm, who serves as Anukampa's Chair and Spiritual Adviser.
 
Anukampa means the wise compassion that alleviates suffering and it's cause: the quality that motivated the Buddha to teach.
 
We aim to:

1. Promote the teachings and practices of Early Buddhism, leading to full Awakening.
 
2. Establish the first "Forest Monastery" in England where women can train towards full (bhikkhuni) ordination!

Anukampa is committed to inclusivity by welcoming everyone, including LGBTQIA+ people and those of every ethnicity, race and background, both to our events and as guests 🌈

Enjoy! 💛
