Thank you all for your enthusiastic, peaceful and grateful participation.

Venrable Phra Mana , all monks and volunteers hope that you have had a very enjoyable and beneficial stay at Sunnataram Forest Monastery.

We welcome you all to join another retreat next year, or even join our Sunday Dhamma program, every Sunday at 10am

Please see attached group photo and please let me know if you would like a copy of our Chanting Book, or any clarification of any topics during the retreat.

With warmest regards and Metta,

Hi Kim

 just a quick thank you for allowing me to audit Phra Mana's class.

 It was wonderful to hear the Dharma again, enjoy the chanting, be surrounded by monks , volunteers and other enlightenment aspiring people. Lovely once more to see the pagoda light up at night. All so joyous.

 Feel free to contact me for pick ups, i can often do it.

I hope your trio of monks left the building without a hitch

Does he do "hugs"? Possibly not

Hi Kim,

 I feel so blessed that I was able to participate in this last retreat of this year. I was on the waiting list for a couple of weeks wishing for a spot to become available but I never even realised what beautiful magic I was wishing for.

 Thank you for everything that you are doing, your help and loving support is invaluable to each and every one of us. I truly believe volunteers are the best people in the whole world.

 I have told so many of my friends about this wonderful experience as I would love for everyone to have some of this peace in their life too.

 And we will do what we can to radiate loving kindness through us every day. 

Yes please if you could share a copy of the chanting book that would be so lovely. I can look at it until next time. 

Peace, love and many blessings,

Sarita

 

Hi Kim,

 Thank you once more for another amazing retreat! Again it was a great experience and a chance to spend a few days with myself, connect to nature. Interestingly, despite the topics that Phra Mana covered were similar or very close to those he talked about the other time in July I still discovered a lot of new things or understood some ideas better and more deeply. I think it is extremely important that more people can open themselves to Buddhism, learn how to meditate and apply it in everyday lives.  

I'm actually very excited for my husband to visit the monastery and discover this new knowledge.  

And myself, I can't wait to get back. Would you be able to put my name down for May retreat? 

Thank you so much and hope to see you soon!

Natasha

 

Hi Kim,

I wanted to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful hospitality during the meditation retreat.

I had an amazing time, and I want to extend a special appreciation to all the monks and selfless volunteers who dedicated their time to cook and serve us over the weekend. 

I've captured some pictures that I have attached. Feel free to share or upload them onto the website if you find them suitable.

Once again, thank you for facilitating such a meaningful and rejuvenating experience.

Warm regards,

Vinay

Thank you very much Kim for the unique opportunity.
