Happy New Year To Our Dear Global Sangha!
2019 has been significant for Suan Sompou in many ways: The Thai government has officially recognised Suan Sompou as an Association. Please proceed your donations to our new bank account, details are as follows: SUAN SOMPOU ASSOCIATION, Bangkok Bank LTD, Mae Hong Son branch, No: 379-0-35773-9 . Photo of Thai Gov official approval included below. Having the above-mentioned status means that the land is now legally owned by Suan Sompou Association. As we are still short of funds, we humbly ask for your help to spread this news. Big thanks in advance! We have begun construction of our practice centre with the gracious blessing and support of the community. The progress has been very good, which you can view here. Do check in once in a while as we will be updating frequently until completion. Although we still need to raise more funds, we have a truly impressive retreat program this year which we are sure will draw more support from more people looking to improve their health. Do help us share this website and our cause with people like yourselves. Last but not least, we have had some amazing retreat experiences, from the "Wake Up", to "Gibbons", to "Elephants" to our very first fasting "Penguin" retreat. Photos do not truly capture our experiences, but at least you can get a taste of how Suan Sompou enriches your life, at our gallery here. As always, we are just a message and an email away, come by and say "hello" often and see you all soon in the mountains of Mae Hong Son. Ponds of Lotuses & Fields of Sompou, Suan Sompou Association Fasting has such enormous benefits for our physical as well as spiritual health.
Our Master Thich Nhat Hanh recommends fasting for 10 days at least once or twice a year (‘Stepping into Freedom’). So we developed a fasting retreat for everyone (we even have an actual MD to guide us!), and we plan to continue to offer this once every year! Check out "FAST LIKE A PENGUIN" (please scroll down) Dear Friends Dear Family,
The second month of our humble campaign has just been tallied. Thanks to the graciousness and generosity of our global sangha, we now have collected a total of EUD6,620 (online and offline). We are currently moving at hikers' pace, in full view of the mountain peak to ascend in the coming months. We hope to make it to the summit of building Sompou Gardens for everyone in the world to enjoy, and doing it together with all of you makes the journey sweeter. Please help energize our journey by sharing and inviting more friends and family to our home. Let's arrive there together.
