Anzac Long Weekend Meditation Retreat

22 – 25 Apr 2016

Dear Kim,

I'd to like to thank you, the volunteers and specially Phra Mana for sharing his wisdom with us all.

I've already transferred the donation to show my gratitude for once again, being able to learn how to be happier and peaceful within.

My mother, even with poor English, was able to receive the teachings from Phra Mana and leave to retreat feeling free from anxiety, understanding better how to deal with attachment, which she suffers from living so far from me.

A priceless life change after all.

I'll be back with my partner next time.

Best regards with love and gratitude

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the monks Kim! What a beautiful experience and a beautiful home. I am so very grateful. You are a wonderful host and garderner. Thank you! :)

Hi Kim,

I wanted to pass on my huge thanks for the ANZAC long weekend meditation retreat I just attended at Sunnataram Forest Monastery, it was a very inspiring weekend. The beautiful & peaceful location, the delicious food (which I'm trying not to be attached to!), and of course Phra Mana's wonderful teaching all combined to create a very special few days.

I am looking forward to paying a Sunday visit soon to show my boyfriend around and I am hoping to also attend the Queen's birthday retreat in June as well. I will keep practising what I have learnt and think it will be really beneficial to attend the retreats quite regularly to consolidate the teachings.

Once again, thanks for a wonderful retreat.

Warm regards,

Claire

Hi Kim

Wonderful to spend the weekend with you all. Phra Mana is lucky to have you and he is amazing.

I am still trying to process everything I learned, but it's nice to remember things throughout the day. My favourite has been calling my negative emotions 'visitor' - I then laugh and then the negative emotion becomes less.

I would like to join the June long weekend retreat if possible - are you able to include me in my own cabin please?

Thank you.

Hi Kim,

Me and Rita would like to thank you for everything. It was my first time to explore Buddhism, but I enjoyed it very much. Now, we are back to our normal life and reality and we both feel that our mind is much clearer now. This weekend Phra Mana has taught us more than we could imagine. In the future, we will definitely visit Monastery again and hope somehow to support and express our appreciation.

We also would like to express a special thank to Phra Mana for his wise words and especially his smile. When we have a difficult moment in the future, we only need to imagine his smile, to feel better :)

Thank you once more and hope to see you soon.

Anton and Rita

Hi Kim,

The retreat lived up to all my expectations. (Hut no.8 exceeded them!) The beautiful surroundings, and the loving kindness, wisdom and generosity of the Sunnataram people give me fresh spirit at each visit. Thanks to you, Phra Mana, Phra Khru, Lama Ken, Peter and all the volunteers for everything you do.

Best wishes, with metta

Dear Kim

Just wanted to say thank you, I am so very grateful.

I have never felt so grounded and calm - many many thanks to Phra Mana and co. for all the love and kindness and guidance. Felt I achieved so much in such a short space of time.

The entire weekend was so very well organised, a real credit to all those who put it together.

Look forward to my next visit :)

Keep smiling
