Indian Public Preceptors Visit

Over the past week we've had the privileged of welcoming and hosting Yashosagara, Adityabodhi and Amoghasiddhi, 3 public preceptors from India. As well as keeping the community well supplied with tasty Chai and stories from India they spent time in retreat with both Padmavajra and Satyaraja, focusing on meditation teachings to take back and share with our brothers and sisters in India. It has been a real joy to have them here at Padmaloka and we wish them a safe onward journey.

Padmaloka Village Work Morning

Today the Padmaloka Community led a Work Morning to clear the Surlingham Village allotment pathway. The path had become overgrown with bushes, brambles and nettles, making access to the playpark difficult, especially for pushchairs. We were joined by local residents including Buffy the Black Labrador and we finished clearing the pathway throughout the morning.
The work morning ended suddenly when we accidentally disturbed a wasps nest, resulting in a few stings and a lot of running.
