Coming out of Retreat


Tun Nyanamoli's road-making meditation


This week the Winter Retreat finished on 31st March and the Spring comings and goings started on 1st April as Abramina caught her plane back to Holland. Anagarika Sebastian's plane was cancelled and he had to return to the monastery for one night, before catching his flight to Germany the next day for a two week home visit. Then on Thursday Ajahn Punnyo takes the train north to teach in Scotland for three days. On Monday 7th April Ajahns Munindo, Abhinando and Punnyo catch the southbound train to Amaravati to take part in the Elders and Theras meetings, leaving Tan Hiriko and Tan Nyanamoli to hold the fort along with Trevor. Martin, Peter and Shramanera Do Gat are making the most of the spring sunshine and working on the Meditation Garden, which is dedicated to the parents of Moe Thurzar.
