We should be so lucky to have such an opportunity. We are three monks with a full-term lay support group of three. There are a few medium-term guests coming but overall the weeks ahead look pleasantly uncomplicated. When we finish our week of group meditation we will take turns having solitary retreats. Vinaya study each week and some sutta study and lots of time for personal practice. You are welcome to come to the monastery at any time. We are maintaining Noble Silence so may not be a happy-chatty as usual. A big AnuMoDana! to all of you who support the monastery and make this possible.
