Aramika 
[Original post:]
Some days without tonic, yet physical work, Atma thought to go up till noth monastery.
Before the corrupt younger monk from the south monastery settled his services for villager and trade with wood thieves, people at large used to rejoice when a monk walked on alms, mostly impossible to carry all given. Now less joy but trade for gain has entered, families corrupted.
Entering the monastery, a young monastery neighbors funeral fest just took it's end. Nyom was always joyful in giving, but next to traders in Dhamma, strong addicted to sensuality, died young in his 40thies.
Asking the older monk about sugar, some lay people got aware of lack and rushed to organize and give.
Another of the monasteries child of robber, one of the actually very devoted lay people, hired for gains, another time joyfully listened to the good Dhamma and made aware of his great deeds he did, next to encouragements.
Back, Atma send Bhante to take the way up the forest behind the community hall. Not so well, Atma needed to rest.
Up in the early afternoon, short later three face-book Devas, disciples of Upasaka
Nidamony came up, gave tonics and listened longer to step wise teaching toward path.
Rejoicing, and as Bhante
Khemananda just returned from the forest, he lead them up and take a look around, encouraged to maybe spend some time silent by leaving on metta.
Telling that they soon would like to come with elders, parents, to listen to the Dhamma, at least they also thought to go for watering the Bodhi tree at the nuns hill, with Bhante.
May all rejoice with their merits done.
