Theravada Buddhist Perspective
Ayya Soma & Bhante Suddhaso
"The invitation of the Buddha is to see how we create gender identification, the emptiness of it and then throw it all behind.”
- Ayya Soma
I met Ayya Soma and Bhante Suddhaso in november 2023, in a tiny village in Puglia. They founded a gender inclusive monastery called Empty Cloud Monastery, in New Jersey.
An incredible gift to meet these two! They bring all the freshness of the Forest Tradition - Ajahn Chah lineage - to a new level, grounded in Today's challenges.
