Thank you so much for all your work and inspiration. It was very exciting and thought-provokiing. As part of the retreat i have been doing morning meditationd at the Center. My meditation practice has thus become more consistent and deeper. Taking the time to reflect afterwards has moved along mu carrying it into my daily life and boosting my mythic approach. But what excited me the most was the possibilities for the future, bring retreat experience to parts of the population who think it not possible. Contemplating what could he an imminent move to some kind of assisted living, this issue is vital. I alread decided it would be close to sangha, most likely Aryaloka. But the ability to participate in an urban retreat in such a strong way gives me such hope for supports in continuing practice no matter what happens and where I go, You have made a very valuable difference in my life. Thank you, thank you , thank you to all who prepared, designed and participated. I am very grateful. love, viriyagita

Thank you! We’ve made good use of the online resources at Bristol Buddhist Centre, with guided meditations from Rijumitra every lunchtime and we watched a short talk every afternoon which prompted some good discussions.

I’ve enjoyed dipping into the flow of posts from round the world too - it’s the first time TBCO really has felt a bit like a wholesome facebook!

Thanks so much Mokshini and team. Thanks to thebuddhistcentre online for all the work put in to make this such a wonderful event. I loved the theme and I particularly appreciate the international aspect. I haven’t managed to listen to all the talks yet but what a great resource to return to again and again. Once more - shouting out a big sadhu and thanks. With metta, Parami

Thank you Mokshini for all your work in bringing the International Urban retreat to us all. I’ve appreciated the variety of the talks and Rijumitra’s meditations and introductions to the Brahma Viharas. A great resource for the future too. Much gratitude to the rest of the Development team, the Buddhist Centre Online team, and to everyone who shared themselves in the posts.

Sadhu to all - those who worked hard to set it all up and those of us who have participated in it, in whatever way we did. A really lovely opportunity to bring practice right into our lives more fully and feel connected with the wider Sangha. So thanks. Much merit gained by all!
