Dear Upasikas, Upasakas:-

Blessings of the Holy Triple Gem!

An update on the current situation at NBM, namely, the move of lay-living quarters, kitchen, dining hall and other related amenities from the Nuns boundary to the Sanctuary of Stillness (SOS – expected to be completed before the end of this year). Please note that:-

• the Nuns Community is working with the Committee as well as the Coordinator of SOS to organise a smooth transition from the Nuns Boundary in Lot 3 to the central zone where SOS is located.
• The Sangha community is now preparing to enter into the annual VASSA which starts on 21 July 2024, the day after full moon day.
• In order not to cause any confusion during this transition period, no new lay stay applications will be accepted with immediate effect.
• Transport Devas and Volunteers who have been helping consistently in support of the dual Sangha community and NBM in property maintenance and repairs, housekeeping tasks, etc. (the uncountable laborious jobs cannot be fully listed) during these many years, are most welcome to check with the Nuns’ Accommodation Officer for room availability anytime you are able to come in to continue your much needed support.

The nuns’ community asks for your understanding and patience while we at NBM work out a new arrangement/policy to reciprocate your generosity and compassion.

Sadhu anumodami!
