Buddha-Mettā UK: Entering the Rains Retreat in Cambridge

17 August 2011

Entering the Rains Retreat in Cambridge

Our move to Cambridge felt swift and we were greeted by many people during the Kao Pansa celebrations on Sunday. It was a warm greeting indeed with much generosity taking place. From preparing the venue, cooking the food, giving requisites for everyone to make use of, helping clean up, to just being part of all the blessings that have already made it feel like home for us, and a peaceful refuge for everyone else. Anumodana for everyone's hard work and interest in making this happen.

This of course marks the beginning of the monastic rains retreat which will be a period of intense practice and further sharing. We hope as many people as possible can come share this special time with us.

About the Society

The Buddha Mettā Society was formed by Buddhists in the UK in 2009. It was set up by individuals who have a connection with Ajahn Sudhiro and the Thai forest tradition of Theravada Buddhism. Members now include ordained and lay people. Our aim is to develop and share the practice of living in Dhamma by providing opportunities for people to experience it first-hand. We hope to have a central centre for monastic training and lay retreats as well as regional ‘societies’ to keep the link strong between the communities around the UK.
