Greetings everyone,
Venerable Dhammanando is feeling unwell at the moment with a recurrence of malaria and we expect that he will be offline for a few days as a result.
Please join me in wishing bhante a speedy recovery.
Metta,
Retro.

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra PanyapatipoDharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

Dear Ajahn,
May you be safe and protected
May you be healthy and strong
May you be happy of heart and mind
May you live with ease and well-being.

Hope you are bearing up bhante
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Malaria? Oh no. Hope you feel better soon, Venerable Dhammanando.

"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."

Take care Bhante, hope you're feeling well again very soon.
"The serene and peaceful mind is the true epitome of human achievement."-- Ajahn Chah, Living Dhamma

Malaria?!?

Does he need bugspray (from mosquitoes) and is he seeing a doctor? If you are capable of getting into contact with him, tell him he NEEDS to rest!!
Get well soon, Dhammanando!!! The world needs people like you!

Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.
