Steeple completed

We concluded the construction of the bell tower to house the bell of the monastery, but the first attempt to beat the bell did not result in much success:



Then we fix the problem using a chain to hang the bell and a wooden hammer to hit, and the end result is this:

Image

Another novelty was the visit of Venerable Raphael, disciple of Ajahn Tan, who spent the last few months in Brazil visiting the family and will now return to Thailand to continue his monastic training.

Image

In addition, the construction of the cabin continues and all weekend an average of 10 to 15 people have come meditating on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. After the construction of this hut, we will begin the construction of another one and a dormitory for lay people. We continue to count on the support of everyone!

Visit of Luang Por Piak to Brazil

Image

We inform you that Luang Pók Piak, Ajahn Mudito's teacher, will be in Brazil for a brief visit later this month. He will be accompanied by Luang Pó Isara and Ajahn Sapai, as well as a group of lay disciples. Although they remain in Brazil for longer days, the only events open to the public will take place at the Suddhavāri Monastery, in São Lourenço, June 22 and 23.

Day 22, during the day, he will visit the place and at the end of the afternoon will be available to chat informally with visitors. The meeting will take place at the home of Silvio Piantino (where there is a sign written "Dhammaghara", just outside the monastery's street) around 17:00.

Saturday, 23rd, is when we will hold a ceremony to formally dedicate the monastery grounds to the Buddha Sāsanā and baptize the meditation hall of "Kantasīla Vihāra", in honor of Luang Pó Piak. The ceremony will begin at 8:30, there will be a short land offer ceremony, a lecture on the teachings of the Buddha, a recitation of Buddhist texts to bless the gifts and then another quick ceremony installing the plaque as the hall name. Admission is free and it is not necessary to register. All are welcome.

Dorm completed!

We conclude another important step in the process of building our monastery. The first dormitory for laymen was finished and is already working. There are four single rooms for lay practitioners who want to spend time in the monastery. And this is just the first, our final plan is to have three buildings like these (four case the demand demand) available for individual retreats.

Any news, meu amigo? :reading:

senses guarded, with protected mind,
not oozing — not burning — with lust,
wander alone

See, Ānanda! All those conditioned phenomena have passed, ceased, and perished. So impermanent are conditions, so unstable are conditions, so unreliable are conditions. This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.

It's a pity. I hope they succed.
I wonder how many tried to establish a true monastery in those lands before. It seems to be a very hard task. I'm going to make donations if possible. :)

there was still no ordination in the Monastery ..

but some Brazilians have already been ordained monks in the Theravada Tradition Thanks to the Community of Theravada Buddhism practitioners in Brazil.

and now with a Theravada Monastery in Brazil, many Brazilians are having the chance to do Retreats and get to know Monastic Life better..

The Abbot of Suddhavāri Monastery is a Brazilian Monk, Bhante Mudito ..

https://suddhavari.org/quem-somos/

in 2012 he completed 10 years as a Bhikkhu and started giving lectures on Dhamma in Brazil .. that's when I had the opportunity to get to know Theravada Buddhism better ..

Since that time, I have heard about 5 Brazilians who were ordained monks in the Theravada Tradition. in different countries and monasteries .. In Thailand (Wat Pah Nanachat, Wat marp jan) in the USA (Metta Forest Monastery) and Sri Lanka .. these were some who
I heard..

Bhante Mudito and Bhante Adhipañño

They are Brazilians
