Warm greetings friends,

This is Ayya Sobhana writing. I have come to care for the Carolina Buddhist Vihara, Greenville, while Ayya Sudinna is away on a family visit.

To introduce myself, I began to practice with Bhante Henepola Gunaratana in 1989, went forth as a samaneri with him in 2003, and received the full ordination at Dambulla, Sri Lanka, in 2006. For several years, Ayya Sudinna and I resided together at the Bhavana Society, and she assisted in my training as a new Bhikkhuni. I have been staying with Dhammadharini in California since 2010. I have led meditation retreats at the Bhavana Society, Southern Dharma, Spirit Rock, and various Sutta study and Dhamma programs at Dhammadharini and the San Francisco Bay area. Some of my talks can be found here

Here are some opportunities if you would like to see and speak with me (all times given in Eastern Standard Time for Greenville, South Carolina). I will be here through December 13, and Ayys Sudinna will be returning on December 7.

Exciting News!

In September of 2019 CBV initiated a Stupa Project for the backyard at the Vihara. Our fundraising efforts and the generosity of many sangha members allowed for the Stupa to be commissioned in Sri Lanka.

What we were unaware of at the time was that there would be a global pandemic that halted the progress of this project. Malika Vejay, co-founder of CBV, has been informed that the Stupa is now complete, photo below.

What remains to be done is:
shipping from Sri Lanka to the US
land transportation from the Port of Charleston to the Vihara
and site work at the Vihara

While great generosity was shown when the project was initiated there were not enough funds to complete the project therefore we are asking for donations to complete this project.

If you can please consider a donation to CBV for the Stupa Fund. You can donate to this worthy cause by mailing a check directly to the Vihara referencing the Stupa Project.

Thank you,
Ayya Sudinna for Carolina Buddhist Vihara
