2025 Year-End Sutta &amp; Meditation Retreat with Ajahn BrahmaliWe are delighted to have our esteemed teacher Ajahn Brahmali with us for this year-end sutta &amp; meditation retreat. Enjoy and immerse in bliss at a 4-star hotel in Bintan.

Profound Reflections from the Mangala Sutta<blockquote>"The Maṅgala Sutta is treasured by many Theravadins as one of the most inspiring suttas in the Pali Canon, especially for lay people. As we consider the deep meaning of this sutta, we will touch on a number of other suttas from the Pali Canon, drawing on a great diversity of Pali suttas. Many of the teachings will be easy to understand, whereas others will be intriguing and require deep reflection. See you in Bintan!" - Ajahn Brahmali</blockquote>IMPORTANT:1.
