We are delighted to confirm the first ordination of an Order Member in Poland. The ex-Wojciech Janowski from the Krakow Sangha was ordained during a short retreat south-east of the city. His private ordination was on Thursday 30th July and his public ordination on Saturday 1st August.

Wojciech becomes Maitrinanda, a Sanskrit name meaning 'He whose joy is love'.

His private preceptor is Santaka and Amogharatna is his public preceptor.

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
