With the commencement of the Rains Retreat 2026 on 30 July, we had the last of this series of Sutta and Meditation Sessions on Sunday 2 August.
The afternoon started with the Forgiveness Ceremony (3.00 to 3.30pm) followed by the regular Sutta and Meditation Session (3.30 to 5.00pm).
It was an auspicious and beautiful night for Asalha Puja, featuring the chanting of the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta and Meditation. The full moon marked the day the Buddha gave his first teaching.
We held a Meditation Day on 15 March 2026 to remember Ayya Vayama Bhikkhuni’s Pabbajja on 17 March in 1985.
