“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” ― W.B. Yeats I just got word this morning that negotiations are on for a new property – five bedroom house on fifteen acres of forest only thirty minutes from Winnipeg. The move-in date is…

Certain Uncertainties

Yuttadhammo February 28, 2013 February 28, 2013Uncategorized community, dhamma, Internet, monastery, monk, schedule, teaching 0

Sorry for not posting anything here in a while (10 days!), it’s just been a bit busy in real life. First, the property thing isn’t as simple as thought; the property we decided on turns out to be too big for a residential mortgage, so either the group puts $80,000…

And you thought Buddhist monks weren’t up on internet memes. FTW – For The World. Okay, not really, but this is. Today we had a meeting of what will probably become the new board of Sirimangalo International in Canada. We agreed unanimously to go ahead with acquiring the land I…

Land of the Manitou

Yuttadhammo February 17, 2013 February 19, 2013Uncategorized dhamma, meditation, monastery, photo, teaching 0

It finally dawned on me that the word Manitoba comes from the same root as the word Manitoulin. Things are taking off in a big way here on the prairies… Friday night we had 29 people in our living room. Here’s a picture before they all got there: Yesterday we…

Supersize

Yuttadhammo February 14, 2013 February 14, 2013Uncategorized computer, meditation, monastery, news, teaching 0

After spending months using a 7″ tablet to connect to the Internet (including ssh), it’s a bit of a relief to get back to a full-sized computer, screen, keyboard, mouse, etc. Should make things like blog-posting and video uploading easier 🙂 So, Winnipeg is a nice place; I’ve applied for…

Settling

Yuttadhammo February 12, 2013 February 19, 2013Uncategorized dhamma, meditation, monastery, organization 0

Made it to Winnipeg, staying in a small house at 1046 Chevrier Blvd with one meditator, Jared from Ontario. We are staying with the support of a group of Sri Lankan families who are providing the house and covering all of our expenses. We have had a few meetings already…

Let’s See

Yuttadhammo December 18, 2012 December 18, 2012Uncategorized canada, meditation, monastery, organization, travel, video, website 0

Lots of news… first, my brain seems to have rewired itself following the dengue fever, so apologies if this comes out muddled. It looks like I’ll be in Canada in January… Ajaan wants me to go quickly and set up a monastery as soon as possible.  He said April is…

Help Wanted

Yuttadhammo September 16, 2012 November 26, 2020Uncategorized help, monastery, ordination, organization, work

Tonight is the time for our regularly scheduled Q&A session on YouTube. Not happening. No particular reason comes to mind, but that the impetus to broadcast has disappeared from the mind. Some interesting thoughts; first, about deciding on a place to live… is Sri Lanka the right place? Really like…

Expanding and Contracting

So goes the universe. Expansions and contractions here, Mae Chii Jai is coming back, as is Sumana, the ex-novice from Thailand, to ordain again. Our new well is progressing nicely, we’ve been using it for a couple of weeks already, the water was tested and is fit for human consumption.…

Three Men and a Monk

Everybody left, and then three new meditators came. So, now we have me, Pauli from Finland, Harish from USA, and Peter from Canada. Pauli will finish his first course tomorrow, Peter and Harish are just slogging through the beginning stages; everyone has expressed the shock at how different it is…
