[Friends of Dhammadharini]

Dear Dhamma friends,

All our Dhammadharini community is now immersed in a special six-week long period of retreat at both the monastery and hermitage (info here). Ven. Ayya Tathaloka will be returning from Australia to join us for the last two weeks of the retreat at Aranya Bodhi. The retreat ends May 19th. 

Upon the conclusion of the retreat there will be a special daylong retreat "The Various Modes of Mindfulness Seen in the Gradual Training" offered for all at our Dhammadharini Monastery on May 20th, and a special Dana at Aranya Bodhi Hermitage on May 21st. Info is below and here. Please register and RSVP at the links below.

Directly following, from May 22-29, Sayadaw U Jagara will be leading the "Examining Reality as a Path to Freedom: Insight Meditation Retreat for Experienced Students" at Spirit Rock. Limited space is still available. Apply/register here.

Our Dhammadharini community will celebrate Vesaka on Sunday, May 28th at our Dhammadharini Monastery. We will have the first Dhamma reflections from our bhikkhuni teachers following this special period of retreat. All are welcome! 

Wishing you well in Dhamma ~
