Bamboo-Pole Acrobats | Ananda Thilakasiri | 13 September 2024

Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three
month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid
October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for
teachings as it’s a time for deepening their own practice. While
the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest
speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk. HEAVENLY
MESSENGERS 2024 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series 2024)
