Silent Week

Ajahn Achalo visiting the Hill

The Community has been on silence this week so there has been very little of the usual external activity. An exception was made for Samanera Visuddhi and Tan Tejananda who have been using the time to sew their bhikkhu robes under the expert tutelage of Ajahn Go, who has kindly travelled over from Italy to help them.

Ajahn Munindo and Anagarika Skipper have returned from their 3 week tour of the Southern monasteries and brought up Ajahn Achalo, an Australian Thera who trained in Thailand, from Amaravati to visit for a few days.

Also Ajahn Abhinando and Anagarika Michael have returned from their time in Germany visiting their respective parents. So the monastery is full again with a community of thirteen sat around the breakfast table.
