Bhante Subhadhammo arrived safe at his origin monastery, Wat Bo, in Kampong Speu yesterday evening, after got lost two times and picked up by faithful people on the way, as he just informed via Sangha-messenger.

[Johann]

Swolled face since weeks, although bearing strong teeth pain well, Bhante Khemananda teeth infection since month seems not to decrease, although better when not cold weather, no rain.

[Johann]

Later in the afternoon Nyom Vilā arrived with Upasika wife of Upasaka No. One desire sewing robes, the other to seek seclusion.

Bhante Khemananda had carried up sand the last week, Nyom organized a bag cement, and no visitors later, after the elder Upasikas gave occasion for long bending maintenance work, sealing tank and paving front of Deva-Kuti after four years anew.

Plenty of Asubha, Dhamma and touch of other live in harmless ways.

If the second rain front passes by, the team work for Upasika Vilā and Sunheang might the finish-able, after a short break now, today.

[Johann]

Yesterdays work seemingly successful done. In the morning Upasaka keandara payed visit, rejoiced that his once started path-project takes on form to be finished. As Atma urged him to cut hair and because his friend became sick, he fled soon back.
Upasika Vilā , Sunheang and mother, and Upasika "Bodhisatt" also returned back today, having done a huge amount of skilful deeds.

And another silently left behind figue in the shrine area.

[Johann]

A busy day... In the morning, going down, Bhante Subhadhammo approached, wishing to give back the mosquito net and to give a set of robes for the Sangha, coming with a former monk who currently thinks of ordaining again.

Back from alms, just taken meal and shared with Bhante and guardian, the district governor of the area (Dhammakar Srok Aural) came up with a village boy, thought to visit the Ashram after four years again, just having visited the village chief.

Wishing to know all what's going on here, took a round and also discussed issues of Vinaya and Dhamma. Sacrificing more then 4h of time, he then thought to go back, and as rain hindered the undertaking Atma encourged him to stay in touch with Dhamma-Vinaya and created an email account and delta-chat use for him.

At least Nyom took on the "duty" to help to share robes further to his near and liked monastery, of which he took on glad, although fearing that people could think of him to use things from the Ashram for own use. But all agreed that there is always place for thinking and speaking on guessing.
He also, as always fearing that monks could meet bad people, invited Atma to call for him in cases someone would try to act harmful. Atma received the offer with approve of good intention, but will certain never make use of it, prefering the Gems as refuge.

May all rejoice with their merits done today.

When ever a visitor not so in Dhamma would approach soon, Nagas and similar would cross Atma path before meeting them. When ever a inhonest approach is up to come, a snake would give reminder. Today a lizard, having a grasshoper in his mouth, looked to gain attention, before meeting Bhante.
May he find the right way and straight forward course, as it's no more that far as some weeks ago.

Already today the blossom of the lotus has gone, leaving "just" seeds for another becoming behind. It's good and smart to reflect one's goodness, good deeds of given, and never identify oneself via form, rejoice in form, as such produces just seeds for further becoming in the painful and short living sensual world.

Election time means fighting time... pulling, focus on winning over power, opposition, and territorial occupation. Atma thought it's a good time to move on, at least for a while, if weather and conditions are conductive, leaving here and here there behind for doing skillful deeds toward the Gems, conductive sacrifice for those after merits, and not be much of burden for those after gain and control.
Bhante Khemananda might be willing to look a little over all, but surely his task is foremost winning over himself, which need merely support rather then demands.

Wishing to fix the water tanks before leaving for, like always, not sure journey, maybe monday or Thursday walking on to visits some Venerables, possible returning for Vassa, if conditions are fine, but all not for sure, and even no determined planes, yet no reason at all to reduce original intentions toward good deeds at all, all staying open for the Venerables who are serious in their resolves, as well the faithful lay follower of the Sangha.
Although Upasaka Sombok, as well as many others, asked to simply stay here, of which Atma, so far, went after: may it be understood that he thinks, for now, better to journey on. Of course Atma will be not reachable by usual ways soon on.

Metta & mudita

Some shares of todays visits of the former Brahmanin (Christian) Upasika Somvuddhavi and her husband she earlier already encouraged toward compassionate ways of life, who gave Almsfood, and robes, umbrella, for the Sangha, pending time on taks on dhamma.
As well as the young Upasaka who sseked advices of what to go after: love or wishes of parents.

May all rejoice with their merits.

Atma is set to leave and will no more be avaliable to carry on things given toward the Sangha here or on internet.

Not seeing a receiver, Atma has to return it all toward the giver, and may things nevertheless reach those it was thought to be given to also beyond best intention.

Seeing well the long term care of all, Atma wishes all to be likewise able to ssee the goodness of others, as well as cause and releae from suffering.

What ever harm might be suspected to have been done, Atma takes full responsibility for all, not a little need to blame anybody else.

Ven. Johann,
are you leaving the forum and the internet now?
Could you please further explain your motivations?

Back from 250km journey , and visiting Bhante Khemakumara , Atma was happy to see that also Bhante Subhadhammo took resistance at the Ashram, meeting him and Bhante Khemananda on alms, in ways proper to be praised.

The lay Buddhaparisada had meanwhile finished the whole path and in short time made it a pleasing and delightful walk up.

May all rejoice with their merits in insecure perceived times.

Could be that 'caught' for another Vassa, but of course always never for sure. Maybe also Bhante Subhadhammo will stay so far.
