Bhante Sujato has announced he will be resigning as abbot of Santi as of the start of this vassa. For more information please go to Sujato’s blog.

For any one who hasn’t been to our Monastery before, or for our regular friends,  today is a perfect day to come and join us on our simple but special celebration of Vesak- the day of the Buddha’s birthday, enlightenment and passing away.

Vesak celebrations will commence at 7pm tonight with candlelight circuit ambulation around the Stupa, special Vesak chanting and meditation.

Please bring a blanket and torch if possible.  For those who arrive early, there will be chocolate, ginger and lollies at teatime from 6-7pm.
