Ordination in San Francisco

On Monday, July 19, at sunrise, Sarah Brown was privately ordained by Viveka and given the name Pasadini, meaning "She possessed of crystalline brightness". Her ordination took place during the North American Sangha's first month-long meditation retreat, at Jikoji retreat center near San Francisco.

Pasadini was welcomed into the Order in the public ordination ceremony conducted by Parami at Triratna's San Francisco Buddhist Center on Sunday afternoon, July 25, surrounded by sangha, friends and family.

SADHU!
