Spring on the Hill

Spring has arrived on the hill. The daffodils and crocuses are blooming and Brian's flock will soon start lambing. The Sangha is emerging from its Winter Retreat and two new anagarikas have taken the 8 precepts: Skipper from America and Tomas from Leeds.

Ajahn Abhinando has been away on retreat in Devon and is due back in at the end of April. Ajahn Munindo and Ajahn Punnyo will be heading down to Amaravati at the beginning of April to take part in the Elders' and Theras' meetings there. Then on Monday 20th April Ajahn Thiradhammo will be coming to stay for 5 days until Saturday 25th, and then on Friday 24th April we will be hosting 3 senior forest ajahns over from Thailand.

The Sangha would like to express its appreciation for all the generous support it was kindly offered during the time of its Winter Retreat and would like to dedicate any goodness accrued towards the benefit of all beings.
