This weekend a dozen Thai students from the University in Newcastle braved the weather to come offer dana and had a dhamma discussion with Ajahn Munindo. Otherwise it has been a fairly quiet week and there is not a lot of news to report. This would seem fitting, given the Community is still on it's Winter Retreat. Just as on a cold winter's day a person might sit quietly by a fire to soak up its warmth, so too the Community is quietly absorbing dhamma.
