On Sunday, May 27 we will celebrate Visakha Puja with a Dhamma Talk offered by Tan Ajahn Amaro, abbot of Amaravati Buddhist Monastery, and with a formal dedication ceremony to install a new bell cast in Thailand for this monastery, and offered along with a bell “tower” to house it, which has been sponsored by local supporters and built by local artisans. (Similarly, a Buddha image and pavilion are being offered and may be in place on that day – yet they will be formally dedicated on July 8 at a Pa Bah offered in honor of a visit by Luang Por Liem and Luang Por Jundee.)
