Retreat 30 Aug - 1 Sept 2024

Thank you all for being part of last weekend's special retreat organised by Alise.

Venerable Phra Mana, the volunteers and I hope you have all had a very positive and happy experience at the monastery.

We hope you have learnt new techniques for calming down the mind, using your powerful breath, and new ways of letting go of your negative thoughts and actions.

We were fortunate with the weather, and all of us at Sunnataram Forest Monastery, especially me, are most grateful for your compassionate gardening work, helping to beautify the monastery for everyone to enjoy.

I hope you found the gardening work mindful and rewarding, and have attached some lovely photos of you all working diligently and joyfully.

We hope to see you all back at the monastery with your family and friends very soon, and hopefully another retreat in the near future.

Once again thank you so much Alise for all your work organising everyone, and for trying to share your love of the Dhamma, and Sunnataram Forest Monastery with your friends.

A special thank you also to Vito for your very touching note left in the Giftshop, and for your very generous online donation.

Alise, Vito, Zinnia and many of you hold a very special place in our hearts, from so many years ago.

I have also attached the Chanting Book for you all in case you would like to continue with your study of Anapanasati, mindful breathing and Paticcasamupada, Dependent Origination.

With metta,

Kim
