On the beautiful morning of July 7th in the Uposatha Hall (Bot) of Wat Pah Nanachat two new novices joined the Wat Pah Nanachat Sangha in the “Ceremony of Going Forth”: Pakao Gad from Israel, who became Samanera Samattho, and Pakao Vincent from France, who became Samanera Adhisīlo. The Sangha and Lay-community of Wat Pah Nanachat wholeheartedly rejoice in their stepping into the alms-mendicant’s life, wearing the yellow robes, and taking on the training within the Sangha of Wat Pah Nanachat. May their monastic lead them to long lasting peace, deep wisdom and compassion.
