A warm meditation huge to all Bat Nha Monastics
Mayka
Hugging all of you in mindfulness. You are making history.
Dear Bat Nha monastics, I tried to visit all of you in May as Sister Chan Khong said it was the most peaceful place ever. However the police would not let me visit then and my visit to you had to be cancelled. I am so happy that most of you are safe and recovering from the trauma of violence and hostilities. Stay solid and free and breath into the present precious moment knowing you have enough to be happy right now. Your courage and steadfast practice has encouraged us all and helped us with our practice. My prayers are with each of you, Stevie
