The Ten days Easter Meditation Retreat was officially conducted from 1st-10th April at PMMC. It managed to attract a total of 15 Yogis including 7 men and 8 women. They had completed the ten days retreat on daily basis. In addition, there were 15 yogis who practiced the meditation during their spare time.

The centre was happy to see the Yogis to practice the meditation seriously throughout the retreat session. It was the best rewards to the effort by volunteers and donors who were keen to help and donate food to make the retreat a success.

There were chanting and Dhamma talks during the retreat. We welcome our Dhamma friends to participate in the session though you are unable to attend meditation as the yogis in future retreat. Most of us have beneficiated so much from the Dhamma Talk and we know it is something worth to bring home and share with friends from time to time.

The committee was thankful to all the volunteers and Dhamma friends for their support and help. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
