Dear Dhamma
Brothers and Sisters,
RE : LAND ACQUISITION IN
HIMALAYA REGIONS (INDIA / NEPAL)
- TUSITA HIMALAYA
@INDIA
- TUSITA HIMALAYA @NEPAL
Pa-Auk Sayadaw is currently having his Vassa in the
Himalaya region & the retreat place is conducive with peaceful environment
& cooling weather between 10~20 degree Celcius. Necessities are built to
support the retreat and a few of the locals also help in preparing food
for the Sangha. A few Bhantes (including Bhante Mangala) also join Sayadaw
for their Vassa retreat.
A piece of land was recently acquired in Pokhara, Nepal. It is in the
Himalayas mountain region. The purpose of the land acquisition is to build
a meditation village for the Sangha and the lay practitioners to do their
meditation practice. More land will be acquired in the near future in
India & Nepal.
After Vassa, Sayadaw together with Bhante Mangala & other Bhantes will be
in Pokhara, Nepal to set up a Sima Hall at the newly purchased land. The
design of the village is still in the planning stage. We will share
information on the design plan when it is ready.
Let’s rejoice together (Sadhu x3) on the intent of this project. Some
photos have been uploaded to share with you at

Sayadaw will be visiting Sri Lanka in the month of December
(2010).
For those who wish to visit Sri Lanka (tentatively from 2nd to 8th Dec
2010) or would like to find out more information about the India & Pokhara
project may contact the following persons :-
