About

The name Sakyadhita means ‘Daughter of the Buddha’. Based on Pāli and Sanskrit, two ancient Buddhist languages, the term was coined at the first international gathering of Buddhist women held in Bodhgaya, India, in 1987.

Aiming to gather in harmony, cooperation, and fellowship, we’ve created a Code of Conduct as well as Privacy Policy, which you can download here.
