Ubon R. Wat Nanasat

I am currently in Ubon Ratchathani --and will visit "Wat Nanasat" tomorrow,
and possibly on the day following as well.

If anyone on the list knows any of the monks there, you have a very brief
window of opportunity to pass a message on through myself.

The Wat has a book-shop, and I will report any interesting finds; the last
time I visited, nobody could be found to unlock the bookshop.

I have visited Wat Nanasat (i.e., "the international temple" --one of the
few in the Issan country with a focus on teaching in Western languages)
before, but none of the monks were available for comment; my current plan is
basically to show up and ask if anyone there is studying Pali.

They're primarily known for meditiation (not Pali scholarship), and outreach
to western tourists.  Their reputation in the latter category is (reputedly)
much better than "heterodox" international temples such as the Dharma-Kaya
foundation.

Again: if anyone has a contact at Wat Nanasat, you might want to e-mail the
monk in question to mention that I'm on my way (Sept. 27th), or e-mail
myself (off list) to direct me to the monk, if you'd like me to pass on any
well wishes (etc.).

E.M.

Maghava, the king of gods, attained such great supremacy over the gods
through heedfulness. Heedfulness is always praised and heedlessness is
always blamed.
