Aranya Bodhi
Our New Women's Monastic Hermitage
on the Sonoma Coast
Dear friends,
With the ending of Vassa, we are beginning to go ahead now with our dream for a women's monastic hermitage on the 120 acres of mountain forest land on the Sonoma Coast that was offered this past June.
After contemplating so many beautiful names for the land and space, the name "Aranya Bodhi" in Pali - Awakening Forest has been chosen for the hermitage.
The old logging road and double landings at the hermitage site were reopened and cleared on October 22, 2008. The road and landings will clear during the winter rains and will be able to be rocked in the spring. Come summer sun the road will "bake" and be ready for use all season for years to come.
It is a dream of many years, for so many of us, come true. Welcome to visit the blogspot that has been set up to share news and info on it: http://awakening-forest-hermitage.blogspot.com/
For more info visit the site above and/or contact the Vihara: (510) 791-2331.
May all beings be well and happy,
peaceful and at ease ~
