Project: ‚The Bhikkhuni Patimokkha‘
“The Bhikkhuni Patimokkha” is an introduction to the rules of the nuns’ order, which is intended as a small introduction help for monastic helpers, anagarikas and nuns at the beginning of their monastic training. After a brief general introduction to the Vinaya, the collection of the rules of the order, each of the 311 rules is presented with an illustration, the text in Pali and English, as well as a brief explanation.
The PDF version of the book has already been used in several Vinaya seminars and has received a lot of positive feedback. Since the nuns’ sangha is growing in Germany, new monasteries are being built and monastery helpers and candidates will be trained every year, this book could be of great help.

Project: maintenance Aneñja Vihara
place: Bavaria, germany
The nunnery Aneñja Vihara is entirely dependent on donations for the running costs and for the maintenance of the monastery buildings. The buildings are quite old and major repairs are not the exception. The nuns are very hands on and try to maintain the monastery as best as they can. They don‘t shy away from repair work and fix whatever they can, but major restoration and maintenance work, such as roof repairs, excavations, and construction work, must be done by professionals.

Update February 2025
The Dhamma Hall needs a new stove. The old soapstone stove was installed more than 30 years ago and there are no longer any spare parts available. When the district chimney sweep inspected the fireplace, significant defects were found and it will no longer be accepted. The stove door has not been able to close properly for some time, the combustion chamber is also subject to wear and tear and has huge cracks.
