After two years we are again organising another iSangha reunion and Vesakh celebration at Tilorien Monastery. The first reunion<\/a>\u00a0is still fresh in our memory and was of great value and support for us in our practice. There were people from as far as India and Portugal, England, Germany and of course from Belgium! It was such a beautiful joyous occasion and it was almost surreal to see people in real life after years together on Zoom.<\/p>\n

This year the iSangha reunion will fall together with the celebration of Vesakh, the special occasion that celebrates the birth, englightenment and passing away of the Buddha.
\nThere will be a program of meditations, chanting, dhamma talks and sharing together.<\/p>\n
