Ayyā Mārajinā's biography:
Ayyā Mārajinā Bhikkhunī received pabbajja (2010) and upasampadā (2012) at Aranya Bodhi Hermitage, California, with Venerable Tathālokā Maha Therī as pavattinī. She has practiced meditation for over 15 years, initially to manage bipolar disorder, now seeing the Dhamma as the highest blessing. Dedicated to practicing and teaching the Satipatthāna and Brahmavihāras, she shares the transformative power of the Dhamma in Spanish and English.
A Cuban-American, Ayya works to establish the first Theravāda temple in Cuba and is involved in creating a bhikkhunī monastery in Mexico. She translates Loku Hamuduruwo Pemasiri Thera’s teachings into Spanish and leads a Sunday meditation and sutta study livestream. Her first book “Pa’ alante es pa’ lla” is currently being edited. Residing at Bhava Nirodha Nilaya in Florida, she also cares for her mother.
