On Jan 9, 2023 the Sangha and lay community of Wat Pah Nanachat took leave from its founding Elder, Luang Por Sumedho, who, during the past weeks - despite his advanced age - generously bestowed kind blessings on the community of Wat Pah Nanachat - for example with his presence at the inauguration of the new Uposatha Hall, during several joyfully engaged teaching-occasions and many warmhearted meetings with other senior monks of his generation. In the ceremony of embedding the central Sima stone on December 27th, 2022, Luang Por was leading the group of senior monks giving blessings to HM King and HM Queen on their Royal visit, a truly uplifting inspiration for all monks and laypeople gathered on this historic occasion.
We all wish Luang Por good health and strength for his own ease and comfort and the encouragement of all of us in our practice following his teachings for many more years to come.
