A Visit to Dhammasara

Today I finally went to visit the nuns up at Dhammasara

http://www.dhammasara.org.au/

Its about a 45 min drive so not that far.

Its a lovely spot and the only think you can hear apart from the comings and goings of the nuns, The angarikas and the Lay visitors is the call of the ravens that seem to like the place , I cant say I blame them :)

After I had given the food I took to one of the young Angarikas I sat outside for a while as I was a little early ( having not been there before I gave myself plenty of time in case i got lost)

After a while I was invited inside and i was surprised to see Venerable Suchina sitting beside Venerable Nirodha !

Actually part of me wasn't surprised I don't believe in coincidences.

Venerable Suchina is staying with the nuns for 2 months , and she arrived 2 weeks ago.

I've been a supporter of the nuns monastery on and off since it was built but its taken me 10 years to get off my bum and actually go and visit !

It must be some very odd ( good odd , not bad odd) Karma that made my first visit to our Local nuns cause me to run in to Venerable Suchina again !


I really enjoyed the morning up there its a lovely spot.
