Dear Order Members,

I am delighted to announce that the Public Ordination of ex-Cia Vinten of the Manchester Buddhist Centre, UK, took place on Sunday 4th August 2024 following a special short Ordination Retreat at Adhisthana. 

She first came along to the original Manchester Buddhist Centre in 1981, where she met Suvajra and Ratnaguna, and they were both present at the ceremony. Among other guests there were 41 Order Members there, and it was quite an afternoon. 

She was given the name: 

Shraddhavijaya (long third and final 'a') meaning "she who is victorious through faith"

Private Preceptor: Kalyanaprabha
Public Preceptor: Dayanandi 

Sadhu  Sadhu  Sadhu!!!

With metta,

Dayanandi
