Friends of Aloka

Dear Friends of Aloka,

To rejoice and celebrate Bhante Mahinda 50 years of Dhammaduta service, Aloka Meditation Centre Australia is having a puja to commemorate this, and will dedicate the merits of this occasion to Bhante for his good health and long life, and may Bhante's Dhamma activities continue to spread far and wide for the benefit for all beings.

(Bhante Mahinda is still in retreat, and there is No online session/Zoom). But we wish to invite you to connect with us, and dedicate it to Bhante Mahinda 🙏
Sadhu!
