Sat 2PM Therigatha Festival Affiliate Program "Ayya Sudhamma Shares a Fav Poem"

ON ZOOM MAY 8th

"Ayya Sudhamma Shares a Fav Ancient Poem" - an affiliate program of the international Therigatha Festival (May 3-16), sharing the poem and the life of Arahant Kisa Gotami.

*2:00 PM Meditation (½ hour - this is the updated schedule)
*2:35 PM Teaching by Ayya Sudhamma
*3:20 PM Discussion and Q&A

Ayya Sudhamma: "We nuns love the poetry of the 1st enlightened bhikkhunis, in the Therīgāthā collection! These nuns kept it so real - easy to understand and identify with - yet also shared raw power. Their book is the world's oldest known collection of poetry by women."

The 2 week Therigatha festival celebrates and highlights their words & accomplishments by interviews among nuns released daily, culminating in a live panel discussion on May 16th (which Ayya Sudhamma will be on), along with loosely organized affiliated programs throughout the 2-week period - such as this one today. There also will air a special pre-recorded interview of Ayya Sudhamma by the organizer Ayya Vimalanyani https://therigathafestival.net/

(Many portions, organized out of Sri Lanka or Australia, will air at 6am EDT, and they will be worth getting up for! but can be viewed later online.)

Today's program will feature a beloved Therīgāthā poem, the words of Arahant Kisāgotamī, Thig 11.1 (#213-223).
