HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR VISIT HERE
We have enclosed the pictures of Kathina Ceremony 2009. Hope you enjoy viewing them.
Located in a quiet leafy suburb of Salford in Greater Manchester is the Saraniya Dhamma Meditation Centre. It was set up by Venerable Sayadaw U Panditabhivamsa of Myanmar (Panditarama Shwe-taung-gon Sasana-yeiktha) and was inaugurated on July 14, 2002.
The meditation method is Intensive Vipassana in the tradition of the Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw of Myanmar, which consists of sitting meditation and formal walking meditation throughout the day. Almost daily discussions and debate about the teachings Dhamma take place both in Burmese as well as English. Meditators observe Noble Silence and keep eight precepts.
Saraniya Dhamma Meditation Centre offers an ongoing retreat year-round. Meditators may schedule their individual retreat from a few days up to several months starting at any time of the year. There are also formal scheduled retreats (please see our events calendar for more information).
The resident teacher, Venerable Pannasami, have trained with the Venerable Sayadaw U Panditabhivamsa of Myanmar.

These pictures (Primary school at Hmawbi village, Deydeye in the Delta) are for all of us to reflect, remember and renew the kusala that we all had contributed in rebuilding the school for the youngsters in need after Nargis.
Successfully December Retreat (2009)
Our December retreat is over and about many yogis came and practised Vipassna Meditation during this. Sayadaw U Pannasami also gave them Dhamma talks. We would like to say 'Many Thanks' to all of yogis and foods donors. Please come and join us again if such kind of retreat is held in the future.
Many thanks to everyone that donated to our conservatory dinning hall. We have built it that using for regular meditation classes, Dhamma talk and various Buddhist celebrations. Your kindness and generosity will bring great happiness to us, and at the same time help prolonged Buddha's Sasana.
May you be well and happy always and support the Sasana.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
