2004 ARCHIVE - Manjunatha In Venezuela

Manjunatha came over to the UK in the eighties and was for many years quite heavily involved with the movement over here. On his return to his home country of Venezuela we helped for many years by supporting him in his work spreading the Dharma there. Over the years three people have come over to work here at Windhorse in order to further there ordination process. Two of these are nephews of Manjunatha - one is now Ruchiravajra, and Jonny Jimenez is to be ordained this year (2011).  These photographs were taken in 2004 in the now thriving Buddhist Centre in Merida.
