This message is to send a HUGE thank you for last week's monastic visit to Bogotá. It was a very beautiful and enriching encounter for me. I live away from the city, and sharing with other devotees and the monks was definitely a divine gift!

This event has been 'another special one,' because it was held entirely in German....What a blessing to hear how the three monks conveyed Master's wisdom in their individual way, covering different facets of the spiritual path!
