Luang Por Sumedho visiting
After all the hard work that went into finishing Kusala House, the community at Harnham had the great blessing to receive Luang Por Sumedho, who led the male retreat this last week. 21 increasingly wiser men sat for the retreat (including our good friend th Rev. Lewyn), applying themselves diligently to their walking and sitting meditation; and listening intently, along with the whole monastic community, to Luang Por's rousing and edifying twice daily Dhamma discourses. We offer him our heartfelt gratitude for such a wonderful and privileged opportunity.
Accompanying him are Ajahn Paññasāro and Ajahn Jayanto, and last night Ajahn Chandapālo from our branch monastery Santacittarama in Italy arrived ahead of the forthcoming Kathina celebrations on Sunday, for which we will be joined by many more senior Bhikkhus and nuns, who will be making use of the space at Kusala House (see below). Luang Por will be giving the Dhamma talk in the afternoon (approx. 2pm) and we welcome you all to join us.
On Monday we are hosting the Elders Council biannual meeting, after which we will say goodbye to the visiting Sangha guests, and things should return to their usual pace.
