Honouring the Bhikkhunī Heritage: Wisdom in Motion
True change needs more than words. It requires recognizing the Bhikkhunī lineage and expanding opportunities for women in Dharma, leadership, education, and AI & technology.
When women cannot fully participate — including in monastic life — we all lose their wisdom, leadership and compassion.
Through Wisdom in Motion, we honour Devāsarā Theranī’s lineage, support Buddhist women leaders and work to remove barriers so this living tradition continues to guide future generations.
