So far, so practical. When we came to funerals Bhante perked up a bit “Now this is something we Buddhists are...

Dear Order members and Sangha

I thought I’d like to share a compilation of some photos I took on the day of Bhante’s funeral. They are in the form of a short slide show with some music. 

I do hope you find this useful

with all warm wishes

Opportunity to share the Dharma in Wellington

If you’re an enthusiastic younger Order member who’s looking for a change, think about visiting Wellington for four months or longer and helping us out at the Wellington Buddhist Centre. We can offer rent free accommodation and living expenses, plus the use of Achala’s car for the five months of 2019 that he’ll be away. As you’d be staying in Achala’s house, we’d prefer it if you can come before he leaves in early July....

I feel honoured and so very grateful to have been able to serve Bhante as secretary in the last few years of his life. Clear and bright was his mind right up until his death, full of warmth and kindness for those that came into his sphere.
