We scattered Jacky Patricia Lambert’s ashes on the afternoon of 16 July 2025.
I would like to share a poem written by a Chinese buddhist nun, Venerable FaYuan (601-63) in the Sui and Tang Dynasties:
This body without a self
Can be compared to floating duckweed.
This body with its troubles
Is exactly like a leaf in the wind.
This cycle of life and death
Is just like that of night and day.
-an extract from ‘Daughters of Emptiness’ poems of Chinese Buddhist Nuns by Beata Grant
A Meditation Day was conducted at Patacara Bhikkhuni Hermitage on Sunday 15 June from 9am to 5pm centred around the topic: Mindfulness of Death.
Approximately eighteen participants attended the day.
On Sunday 20 April 2025, Patacara Bhikkhuni Hermitage celebrated “TwoYears in Samson”. Fourteen lay supporters attended the event. We began the event with a guided meditation session followed by sutta syudies and concluded with Paritta Chanting, with blessings for all our supporters and beings at Patacara Bhikkhuni Hermitage.
Jacky Lambert passed away on Friday, 4 April 2025. We know her as our long-time supporter and also someone who had generously offered Ayya Vayama Bhikkhuni and Ayya Seri Bhikkhuni accommadation in Jane Brook, Western Australia, for twelve years.
Thirty people participated in a meditation and talk session at Patacara Bhikkhuni Hermitage on Sunday 6 April, to remember Jacky and to share merits with her.
Jacky Lambert’s memorial service will be held on Thursday, 24 April at 1pm at Bruce Douglas Pavilion, 110 Salisbury Rd, Swan View WA.
