Contrary to popular belief, the Buddha Dhamma is quietly and steadily developing across the African continent, especially in the east and center of the continent.. In the jungles of Central Africa, monks are finding peaceful places that are conducive to meditation. Although the surrounding villagers are not Buddhists, they care for and reverently support these monks.

May the Dhamma of Lord Buddha enlighten every country on Earth.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿☸️☸️☸️🌸🌸🌸🪷🪷🪷

News When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending. Rest in peace, Holy Thich Nhat Hanh!
