Tisarana will start it’s winter retreat on January 5th. During this time we won’t be accepting any guests. We will also only check the monastery e-mail infrequently and will respond only to urgent e-mails.
Days of Mindfulness will continue as usual on Saturdays at 1pm. Luang Por Viradhammo will be away until February 6th. Hope that you have a great winter if we don’t see you at a Day of Mindfulness. All the best until April.
We had a nice new year here at Tisarana. We had a meditation at 7pm and Luang Por Viradhammo gave a Dhamma talk. Following this we had a pretty big bonfire (see photos). We meditated from 11:30pm until 12am. Philippe rang the monastery bell at 12am and the bhikkhus chanted parittas to usher in 2013. Happy new year to all!
