Another historic event for Newbury and the BSV Community - Venerable Kondañño becomes the first novice monk (samanera) to receive the higher ordination (Upasampāda) at the Monastery!

Ajahn Brahm officiated at the ceremony as the preceptor for Venerable Kondañño, and the ceremony was watched by about 100 people, many of whom have witnessed Venerable Kondañño's journey from layman to Anagarika to novice and now to a fully ordained monk, a bhikkhu. It was a heartwarming occasion, and some tears flowed.

May Venerable Kondañño understand the Dhamma in this very life, like his famous predecessor!
