Ayya Anandabodhi's Dharma Talks at Aloka Vihara Forest Monastery
Ayya Anandabodhi
Ayya Anandabodhi first encountered the Buddha’s teachings in her early teens, igniting a deep interest in the Buddha’s Path of Awakening. She lived and trained as a monastic in the Forest Tradition at Amaravati and Chithurst monasteries in England from 1992 until 2009, when she moved to the US to help open more opportunities for women to live the monastic life. She took full Bhikkhuni Ordination in 2011. Her practice and teaching are guided by early Buddhist scriptures, living in community, and through nature’s pure and immediate Dhamma.

Ayya Anandabodhi reflects on applying the Four Noble Truths while caring for her elderly mother. The mention of "surrender" in this talk refers to putting one's hands in the air in a surrender position as a response to noticing one is getting contracted or holding on to a position or a view.
