Why do not creat one topic as “my favourit videos” and post all of them to one thread?

@waiyin, I do not have a FB account and can’t open this page. Are there links to the “Sri Lanka, Bandarawela 20150703-20150712” retreat on this page?

Because this repository

contains links to “Sri Lanka, Bandarawela 20160621-20160701” monastic retreat.

Are there actually two different retreats?

waiyin · April 2, 2018, 12:39am

Sorry, I don’t know (Yet to listen to either). However, the files in the OneDrive are labelled as though they are from the 201507 retreat.

PS - I think I provided the wrong link (https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!ABi8P_6jlmkmMXM&id=3997919082A7FABF!5648&cid=3997919082A7FABF)
. Having a look at the 2016 (one of the videos) and it is mentioned 3 retreats so far (2013, 2015, 2016, presumably).
