Season’s Greetings:We wish you every happiness today, tomorrow… and on and on. Many blessings to you and your family and friends. Peace and goodwill to all beings.
New Year’s Eve:Tuesday 31st December. The theme will be “Release and Renewal.” A letting go of the old and unwanted and a (re)establishemt of the fresh and wholesome. 7pm chanting, meditation, Dhamma talk. Walking and sitting meditation until about 11pm. During the evening we can write down two lists; things to release and things to renew. The former burnt to cessation and the latter buried at midnight in the ‘Garden of Giving’ under the spreading kanuka to grow to maturity. All are welcome.
New Year’s Day Alms Round:As has been the tradition for many years the Sangha will walk down Stokes Valley on alms round. We will leave the monastery at about 9:30am. You are most welcome to make offerings on the street or come a little later and join us for the meal at 10:30.
Receipting:The volunteer team that do the receipts are quite a bit behind. If you have made a donation rest assured that your receipt will come to you soon.
