Health of Dhammachari Shilashreshtha from India

From Order Connection on Fri, 1 May, 2015 - 18:54

Dear Order members,

I am sad to inform you that Dhammachari Shilashrestha from Amaravati  (India) was diagnosed with a brain tumour on 27th of April; the doctor found it was a high grade cancer, and it is in a very critical position so cannot be operated on.

The doctor suggested taking him home and giving him a good atmosphere. ...
