Tun Ñānamoli (new work-monk) and Samanera Visuddhi
It has been a busy week here at Harnham. The community has been working around the clock to prepare for the forthcoming Summer retreat - one night required Tan Hiriko and Tan Ñānamoli to stay up until past midnight working in the plumbing department. Thankfully everything is adequately resolved.
The old larder has been transferred to the car park at Kusala House and is now a garden-shed, making much-needed room for seating in the space outside the kitchen at No.2. Our new larder is now fully operational and complete, special thanks to our good friend Rolf Wojciechowski.
Today, being the new-moon day, we are all appreciating a somewhat quieter atmosphere, preparing ourselves for retreat, starting Sunday; one week with about 24 lay guests followed by our own monastery silent week. From time to time Ajahn Abhinando has occasionally been spotted walking outside and seems to be getting a little more energy back.
