Tan Ajahn Sucitto will be at Dhammagiri this weekend. Ajahn Sucitto is one of the most senior Western monks in the tradition of Ajahn Chah. He has been for many years the abbot of Cittaviveka Buddhist Monastery, Chithurst, England. Last November, Tan Ajahn retired from this position, and is currently enjoying a sabbatical based at Bodhinyanarama Monastery, Wellington. We are very fortunate for Tan Ajahn to visit us, as he normally does not accept any teaching commitments during his sabbatical. The opportunities to meet Ajahn Sucitto at Dhammagiri are as folllows:
SATURDAY 11 JULY 10.00 am Arrival of Participants, Preparing for Almsoffering 10.30 am Offering of Almsfood & Shared Meal 11.45 am Dhammadiscussion with Ajahn Sucitto

Free distribution books authored by Ajahn Sucitto have always been very popular with the lay community at Dhammagiri. I trust you will enjoy his personal presence even more than his written teachings, and gain inspiration & new insights to apply in diligent meditative practice in the upcoming rains retreat period.
