From 16th to 18th April, a group of Mitta Vols and Family friends, went to Sasanaraka in Taiping for a 3 days retreat. It is a first time retreat for many participants. Happily attending this retreat, without knowing what to expect, thinking that it is the usual retreat, sitting with our back erect and going into samadhi. After the first day, many were surprised at the method shared by Bhante Kumara. The method is very pratical and we can apply it at anytime of day and night. On the second day, we were allocated in smaller groups and Bhante conducted a private interview with us. Working from morning till late evening, Bhante listened and guided us how to solve our Worldly problems. Bhante put so much of his time guiding & leading us - How to End our Sufferings. Sadhu.....Bhante.
During our free time, we strolled and explored the green scenery. The place is so peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the serene sitting under the shaded roofs.
Brother Lau demonstrated his 18 steps Taiji and many participants joined in the exercise. Mitta volunteers did Reiki on those who were tired with body aches.
"Where ever Mitta go, Reiki flows"
Sasanarakha volunteers were very helpful and see to our needs. Meals were well taken care of and they showed so much hospitality.
On the 3rd. day, equipped with what Bhante has shared with us, we have to go back to our Real World. Though the retreat was a short retreat, all of us had a happy time there, and enjoyed our stay.
Energized with Bhante's dhamma, we are very motivated and will persevere to end our sufferings.
A new category under knowledge sharing called "Ending Suffering" has been created. Anyone can blog in to share their sufferings - personal conflicts etc...
Those who had successfully over come their sufferings, we welcome you to write in, so that others too can learn from it, and solve their problem.
