I have had the good fortune to stay at Adhisthana many times in the last few years.
When I arrive, and of course several times during an event itself, I will circumambulate Bhante’s burial mound. And recently I got into the habit of a daily walk in a circle around the grounds so as to take in the changing and often quite magical surroundings and atmosphere.
Often there are unexpected chance meetings. I cross paths with old friends who are on another retreat or just arriving when I am about to leave; I meet new friends who are staying at Adhisthana for a few months; have a chance in-depth communication or the honour to introduce someone who has never been before to Bhante’s burial mound and some of the key buildings.
