The Essen Sangha saying farewell to Bhante

From Sangharakshita Memorial Space on Mon, 19 Nov, 2018 - 11:58

The trees drop their leaves and work needs to be done. Sunday and Monday here saw community and volunteers taking down chairs, dismantling the shrine in the barn - will it ever be the same space? - and cleaning. Lots of cleaning,...
