On December 28th 2022 for the first time since the monastery was founded the Sangha of Wat Pah Nanachat held an “Upasampada” Ceremony, accepting four new Bhikkhus into the Sangha, with Ajahn Kevali performing the duty of the “Upajjhaya” (preceptor). The occasion was marked by the presence of many senior Elders and layguests, after the new Sima of Wat Pah Nanachat had been established on the day before.
