She is also the Abbess of Bodhicitta Dakini Monastery<\/a> in beautiful wilderness at the southern tip of Australia. Ayya is a feminist, contemplative and a teacher who travels internationally. She is a sacred chants artist and published author.<\/p>\n Although there is no doubt of everyone\u2019s equal potential to become enlightened, if we are to preserve the vast and profound teachings of Buddhism that have been so carefully handed down by our kind Asian and Indian Spiritual ancestors we need places where people can study, reflect and meditate full time. We also need to establish a tradition of well trained Western Buddhist Teachers, especially empowering women as well as\u00a0rich lay Buddhist culture.<\/p>\n For women and LGBTIQA+ finding a place to ordain and stay as a lay person or monastic, where they can learn and study, is often a huge challenge, especially in the Tibetan tradition. Ayya Yeshe started this unique project to create a place where the four-fold community can stay and learn, aiming for environmental justice, to aid marginalized communities, intersectional feminism that includes and welcomes men who wish to be allies and compatriots of women. Much\u00a0still needs to be done! If you want to support Ayya Yeshe please consider donating:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/20210419_172650-1024x498.jpg\")
