Leaping Between Life and Death

AEB 2025 Easter Retreat with Venerable Tejadhammo:

10 enthusiastic participants were fortunate to attend our Easter weekend retreat which focused primarily on the Buddhist approach to death and dying. Bhante gave detailed meditation instruction along with sharing stories from his many years working in hospices and hospitals, a series of short films on the end of life as well as inspiring accounts of his teacher’s lessons. It was yet another reminder of how precious the teaching of the Buddha is, especially when communicated with such love and genuine experience.

The weather was perfect and Vejjasala has never looked more beautiful thanks to the ongoing maintenance efforts of Robert and David. We were blessed by the generous service of Marie Delaney in the kitchen and all participants’ care and attention to keeping Vejjasala in pristine condition. I encourage all members to make use of this unique and peaceful facility at every opportunity (and join us for our upcoming Working Bee – details below)!

Yours in the Dhamma,
Chris Burgess
Retreat Manager
