Ajahn Varadhammo is the abbot of Bodhisaddha Monastery, Wilton near Sydney. He has kindly accepted our invitation to our robe offering ceremony in the Kathina month here at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage.

Ajahn Varadhammo is a disciple of Tan Ajahn Anan of Wat Marp Jan, Thailand. He has trained with Tan Ajahn Anan for more than 10 years, until he was invited to lead the establishment of Bodhisaddha monastery. Even now, he keeps in close contact with his teacher, visiting him regularly, and often providing English translations for Tan Ajahn Anan during his live casts on Zoom.

However, although he has done a lot of interpreting from Thai to English, there are not yet that many teachings of Ajahn Varadhammo himself available yet. Therefore, we are very happy that he agreed to provide the main Dhamma talk for our robe offering ceremony.

Ajahn encourages us to to rejoice ('anumodanā') in the countless acts of goodness that are necessary to bring sangha and lay supporters together, and conduct such a major event joyfully and in concord.
