First Int'l Ladies Dhammadayada for Thailand

For many years Azusa has been running a Dhammadayada training course for ladies in English, but this year Wat Phra Dhammakaya in Thailand had for the first time organized a three-week International Ladies Dhammadayada Training and attracted 19 English-speaking participants from countries as diverse as Bahrain, Bhutan, Indonesia and Mongolia.

10th of Dhammadayada Int'l from Europe

The seventh International Dhammadayada Ordination Programme running at Wat Phra Dhammakaya, Thailand from 5 July - 5 August 2009 this year had Europeans as a tenth of its participants partly due to a scholarship system to help would-be Dhammadayadas with the cost of airfare. Europeans this year included five Berliners, an Italian, a Roumanian and of course Phra Henrik Katapunyo from Denmark.
