Join us in celebrating the inspiring paths our panelists have created and the communities they continue to strengthen
In honour of International Women’s Day, Nan Tien Institute warmly invites you to a special online panel celebrating the lives, leadership, and contributions of women in Australian Buddhism.
Join Venerable Juefang, Ayya Upekkha, and Subhana Barghazi Roshi for a rich and inspiring conversation reflecting on their journeys as women practitioners, teachers, and leaders within their respective traditions. Together, they will explore the challenges and unexpected opportunities they have encountered, what sustained them along the path, and their hopes for the next generation of women in Buddhism.
This dialogue will consider how different Buddhist traditions shape possibilities for women, how female Dharma voices can be elevated, and what guidance these respected teachers might offer younger women navigating contemporary institutions and spiritual communities.
The session will include opening reflections from each speaker, a moderated panel conversation, audience Q&A, and closing reflections.
This event is both a celebration and a call forward, honouring the paths forged by women in Buddhism and the communities they continue to nurture with wisdom, courage, and compassion.
