[Original post:]
Just uploading taged audio files of sutta reading while strong rain, as Bhante came up the upper floor telling "guests", bringing upper robe with him to wear.
Special guest had found up. After five years Nyom
No Name could convinced her long time angry husband,
Kong Sokdina , to visit the Ashram.
Actually an outstanding deed, hardly ever one could win over oneself in such way. Asked for pardon, then directly and quick into the Dhamma and gotten all useful encouragements.
Short after their arriving a group of Upasika, having visited the North monastery, had been guided up by villagers.
Given medicine, soon involved into "how to walk the right path" and talks on right view.
Maybe to simple seeming, they then left back, having others wait in the village.
Bhante
Khemananda guided Upasaka alittle around so that he could see some effects of his indirect merits the past years. After that Nyom gave tonics as well, again talkon Dhamma (re)newing refuge and receiving precepts, encouraged to lead the Brahmacariya.
Certain left behind a heavy load, all reason to rejoice with their merits done.

user:johann:gallery:archiv2023:20230809_08.jpgNearly evening a faithful wood-cutter was guided up by children. It's very usual that cutter do Dana, ask for blessings, similar like soldiers, but as usually here, no approve of wrong living is given but instead heavy encouraging to stop wrong livelihood and to seek right, go after precepts.
As well touched at a state where Dukkha is already large, it might be that he follows the encouragement, which isn't of course easy, since habitual.
Saying joyful that he will dry to "leave the rain into dry" he left, first just though to give drinks and walk then usually on.
May all rejoice with their merits.
