I’ve been sitting for a little while now and found the Thai Forest Sangha (community) in Brighton <\/a>last Winter. At the Bodhi Graden (pictured with two visiting Chithurst nuns) I also met my now ex-girlfriend Sasha (pictured smiling with nuns on the right in the woods) whom I recently split up with. I’m mentioning that here (with her blessing) as friends and family read this and it seems one way of letting everyone know, and letting them know we’re OK. Painful but not tragic. I would also recommend Chithurst Buddhist Monastery as a wonderful place to go separate ways mindfully and with care – nothing last forever as them Buddhists say…<\/div>\n
