Ewen Hardie on pilgrimage
On Sunday we were visited by Ewen Hardie (pictured), who called at the monastery on his walk from the Scottish Parliament to Westminster. He is treading the entire route barefooted to raise awareness of the current situation in Burma/ Myanmar and is only eating whatever he is given, so if you spot him on his journey, your support will be greatly appreciated by him. You can check his blog at www.barefeetforburma.blogspot.com
Also on Sunday, Ajahn Jayanto's weekend retreat concluded, and on Tuesday, Abramina arrived for a month and has subsequently been pottering around and generally taking care of things here.
On Sunday Kath Jones will begin her 6 week stay here, and will take the Anagarikā precepts on the 17th.
