I'm really happy to have been in this peaceful place with its great people residing there. The almsround in the morning is a really humbling experience and one gets plenty of good food to satisfy all taste buds. The place is open for any creativity and the Dharma talks with Bhikkuni are great and inspiring.
Thank you for everything and hope to … read more
