Many Visitors in January 2025

This month saw the arrival of many lovely people, some came to stay for a while, some only for a day to tour the temple and to meet with Ven. Dhammananda. We thank them for coming and we hope to welcome them back in our temple again in the future.

Khun Ta and her husband Mr York come every year to pay their respects to Venerable Dhammananda and this year was no exception.
