This amazing project led by Ajahn Brahmali, Bhante Sujato and others is helping restore ancient Buddhist teachings by providing modern English translations of the entire Sutta and Vinaya Pitaka, to every monastic education center (Pirivena and Seela Matha units) in Sri Lanka.
We hope to raise enough funds to contribute by buying a few sets of books for the nuns monasteries.
