I made it!

Finally, I got my Dhamma Suksa Tri Certificate! I'm gonna do Dhamma Suksa To this year. My heartfelt appreciation to all my teachers..

Class of April 2005. Chiangmai Vipassana Center. 

Group of tsunami victims from Phang Nga transiting at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport. 

Chiangmai Vipassana Center is refreshed with rain almost everyday during the course, considered a blessing in the hottest month of the year!

It's all smiles as the course is drawing to an end. Last night of the course in Chiangmai Vipassana Center. 

Kids who have lost a parent to the tsunami told the audience how much they learned from the course. 

Ajarn Siriporn told meditators to learn from the tsunaami victims' storie and always be mindful of anything we do. 

Another refreshing moment in Chiangmai Vipassana Center. 

Teachers from the north giving out scholarship to students from the south. 

Ajarn Siriporn plays Songkran with the Yokees (meditators). "May all of you be peaceful and happy throughout the coming year!" 

Cooling down with fragrant water is a great way to begin a new year!
