International Vesak Day

[Ben]

Thank you Bhante
Those photos are phenomenal. Its time like these that I wish i lived in a Buddhist country.

I received a bit of a Vesak Day gift today when I was phoned by a co-practitioner who asked me whether I would like to organise the equipment purchases here in Tasmania for our local centre. Since moving here, and apart from the little I do here, I have missed the opportunity to serve others in the Dhamma.

I hope you get plenty of rest soon Venerable!

Thank-you Ven. Appicchato! The largest number of monks I've seen together in Australia (apart from a conference) were four bhikkhus when Ajahn Liem visited from Thailand a few weeks ago.

Lovely photos, much appreciated.

Hi Bhante Appicchato,

You sure are great with the camera!

Happy Vesak!

Most excellent, Bhante!

Have a good day.

Thanks for the photos bhante.

My Vesak Day was a little more low key... 7 precepts, reading some of the Mindfulness In Plain English PDF you sent me, and reading a Dhamma talk from Ajahn Lee.

And now that it's tomorrow, I just finished eating the piece of cake I didn't have for dinner last night.

Metta,
Retro.

Yup folks, it's that time of the thrice auspicious and blessed occasion of Vesak Day, 24th May 2013.
A time for Uposatha, dana, sila, bhavana
May all be well and happy
