welcome party for the Abbot and a send-off party for Dom John Vianney and our Tibetan monk guest

i 'm back.

The welcome party for the Abbot who just arrived yesterday night from Polokwane Africa (please take time to read My Abbot's Page for details of his Africa visit) ended with all of us having enjoyed the one-hour 'break' from our monastic routine.

I also learned that Dom John Vianney (Vietnames) will be leaving us and as well as the Tibetan Buddhist monk brother Asonam tomorrow. So the occasion that we just had was a mixture of a welcome-despidida party!

Some of the images I got for you....
