From this videoconference talk from 20 September 2019, Ajahn Anan discusses a story from the Buddha's time, the story of Venerable Khema Theri, the Bhikkhuni foremost in wisdom. Two excerpts: "And at that moment, the Buddha read Queen Khema’s mind and he made the beautiful maiden’s body gradually change little by little. From a young age to middle age, and gradually changing to old age. Then the Queen grew dispassion at seeing that when the beautiful maiden changed to being old, that her beauty disappeared."...Queen Khema, who had full spiritual development,  attained to becoming an arahant with full mindfulness and wisdom, imbued with all the psychic powers, right at that time she was standing there."Note: One can read this talk and others at the Wat Marp Jan 'Reflections' page, which also includes questions and answers with Ajahn Anan, which are not in the audio files.

Venerable Khema Theri, the Bhikkhuni Foremost in Wisdom

The translation of a talk in which Ajahn Anan describes the life of Venerable Khema Theri, a prominent bhikkhuni during the time of the Buddha. Declared one of the chief disciples, Venerable Khema Theri came from a royal family and, after renouncing her wealth, achieved awakening and became renowned for her mindfulness and wisdom.
