Ajahn Brahm’s long-time student Ajahn Nitho is coming to Finland in May to teach a one week meditation retreat. The retreat venue is in the countryside, easily accessible from Helsinki. All teachings will be given in English.
This is a great opportunity to get sutta-based meditation instructions from an experienced forest monastic, especially for people residing in the Baltics/Nordics. Currently living in Norway, Ajahn Nitho has already taught many retreats in other Nordic countries but this is his first time in Finland.
Nice to see you Viveka! It’s nice to recognize familiar faces, hopefully I’ll have a chance to meet you again in-person as well, rather sooner than later.
Still some places left! Also, if you want to know what is going on in Finnish/Nordic Buddhism, check out our new website: https://nordicbuddhism.fi
(there is also a Finnish version online, https://meditoikuinbuddha.fi in case you want to see how many double-consonants can be squeezed into one word.)
I’ll just note that there is an interface translation for Finnish on the main website. You can turn it on by clicking on the three dot menu in the upper right and selecting your language. There are still some missing bits, so if a Finnish speaker likes to work on it, please send me a DM.
