Should only take a few days — look out for talks (we sorted out the sound!) and interviews and videos and the rest from days 4–6… Everyone here is aware of the rest of the Order following online and it’s been great to bear you in mind and feel borne in mind too! The ‘sanghakaya’ has become a bit of a theme here and maybe in its own small way the internet can actually help us with the practice of carrying the sangha with us, living as part of a community.
