Hello from Beautiful British Columbia! Metta to U!

I am a Theravada Buddhist from the interior of BC, near Birken Forest Monastery and Kamloops, BC. I joined the Buddhist Group on MyFitnessPal.com and linked here from a post by a fellow member. How wonderful to find these online communities for those of us somewhat isolated from large centres. Our sangha is relatively small and has monthly gatherings with Ajahn Sona. He is going into a year of silent retreat so we will be with him in spirit as we practice. There is a huge library of dhamma talks on the Birken.ca website as well. Looking forward to exploring this site and expanding my knowledge and practice. I welcome contact and send metta to all beings.

Hello. :hello:

I've long meant to visit Birken, but seldom go over mountains.
