Ajahn Sundara
Ajahn Sundara (* in France ) is a Buddhist nun in the Thai forest tradition of Ajahn Chah . Ajahn stands for Thai teachers in her name .
She was born and raised in France and studied dance there and later in England. In 1979 she entered the order as a Samaneri by taking eight vows, and thus became, together with three other women, the founder of the order of nuns in the forest tradition. After Ajahn Sumedho had received the green light from the religious superiors in Thailand, Sundara was able to receive 'Pabbajja' in 1983 and thus go into "homelessness" as Siladhara .
After she left Cittaviveka , she began building the order of the nuns in Amaravati. In the 1990s she went to Thailand for some time, where she spent more than two years in monasteries of the forest tradition.
As Ajahn, she has been teaching in Europe and America for many years and leading meditation days. She currently lives and teaches at the Amaravati Buddhist Monastery .
