4th Theravada Samaneri Novitiate Programme (TSNP) 2022

 

The 4th TSNP was held fruitfully from 27th April – 8th May 2022 at Brahmavihara Monastery and Retreat Centre, Melaka. It was co-organized by Ariya Vihara, Brahmavihara and Gotami Vihara. Ven. B. Sri Saranankara Nayaka Mahathero was the preceptor teacher, Ven. Dr. Dhammapala Mahathero and Ven. Sumangala Bhikkhuni were the Dhamma teachers, and Ven. Pannadhammika Bhikkhu and Ven. Mettajivi Bhikkhuni, the assistant teachers. There were three samaneri novice nuns from Cambodia who took permanent going forth. The other thirty nine were temporary novice nuns. All of them were sincerely pursuing the path of inner peace.

On 7th May, the 42 Theravada samaneris and their teachers went for a 3km pindacara alms round at Jonkers Walk. It was a momentous and touching experience for all samaneris as there were many helpers and devotees who came to perform generosity, making more merits and support the Buddhasasana.

Indeed, we are grateful to the Bhikkhu and Bhikkhuni Sangha, all organising committees, all helpers, all donors and supporters for this meritorious programme.

May the Fourfold Assembly continues to grow for the wellbeing, happiness and benefit of the many. Sadhu.
