Friends in Dhamma,
As I am intending to leave the Monastic Community in April I wish to express my appreciation for the support I have received since I joined the community in England. These 17 years I have found fruitful and I am aware how dependent they were on so much generous support from the monastic and lay communities. My many dear friends from this time I treasure.
What brings us into the monastic life, what takes some of us out again, these are mysterious processes. Maybe it is now sufficient to say this feels the next movement in my path’s unfolding. It feels ‘right’, in accordance with conditions.
Wherever I find myself, I hope I can share in some quiet way the blessings I have received and my ever-deepening love for the Buddha-Dhamma. May the Sangha continue to thrive.
May all beings be freed from all dukkha,
Thaniya.
