Dear friends in the Dhamma,
The last few months have flown by and we have a lot to report again.
Hildegard has been on a long break since mid-July to regain her physical strength and to regenerate. Since mid-August she has been in a naturopathic clinic and is experiencing how her strength is gradually increasing again.
Asher Gal has been a guest teacher in the house since mid-July, until the Honorable Phra Ajahn Ofer takes over the leadership of the retreat as planned on October 24.
The next step towards the extension wants to be made
In July, the large pile of earth from the excavation of the foundation was leveled and we now have a clear view again over the property…..and, it seems, of the tasks ahead:
We are now getting bids for the shell and want to start the next phase of construction as soon as possible.
The credit balance for the shell has meanwhile risen to
283.656 €
has grown.
Who will help to raise
300,000?
September 21 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of our esteemed teacher, Most Revered Ajahn Tong Sirimangalo.
Can we reach this milestone by that day?

The work on Angelika’s cottage is progressing well and the completion is in sight. There are just some steps to be done by ourselves and some professionals and we are glad that help is offered again and again and meditators come to offer their skills.
Impressions from the end of summer
And who lives here…?
The hollow trunk of the old apple tree has recently been home to a mother cat with her 3 kittens…..they are of course the attraction these days….
