Dear all,

Thank you to all of you who came to the daylong on Saturday.  If I didn’t have time to greet you, know that in my heart, I was welcoming you.  I hope you enjoyed the day.  I was delighted how the day went and I have so much gratitude for everyone’s help in setting up, taking care of the kitchen and seating, for help in cleaning up afterward.  And, in particular, I have so much gratitude and happiness for your practice yesterday.  As I said at the end of the day, it was a beautiful dana of everyone giving in many ways – from coming to holding the space to the generosity of your donations to Saranaloka to the meal offerings and the gift of your presence and silence.  Thank you!

If you would like to listen to the recorded sections of the daylong, please contact me and I will make them available to you.  Ajahn Metta requested that we keep these recordings just for the group that attended. There are four files – the metta meditation from the morning session, the guided meditation from the morning session, the guided meditation from the afternoon session, and Ajahn Metta’s Dhamma reflection on renunciation.

Here are some pictures from the daylong with Ajahn Metta – taken by Christopher Lee (thank you Christopher!):
