Dear friends,
It’s with great pleasure that we’ve learned that many of you are interested in coming to Italy for the retreat with Thay in March 2010. We hope that you can be numerous and that you’ll feel welcomed by the Italian Sangha just like our Italian friends who participated in the retreat last year in Israel were received with such care and affection.
We therefore would like to welcome you with all our hearts and hope that many of you will come. This year we’ve decided to have a staff dedicated to non-Italian participants, but I’m convinced that in the large Sangha of Thay “no one is a stranger.”
Until we meet, we send you our affection,
The organizing council for the retreat with Thay,
Miriam, Emanuela, Maria Teresa, Mario
