Hello Ishara,

Anumodana with all your kusala cetana!!!!!!!!!!!!

How fortunate that I upgraded from Dial-up to ADSL Broadband on the weekend.

Bhante Dhammasiha is leading a group of about 20-25 of us from Brisbane on a Pilgrimage next Feb/Mar to visit the Holy Sites.

This brings back SO many memories which just can't be captured in still photos. Even the Sounds!!

Thank you!
