Many of you have been with us since we started Dhammarekkhita Monastery 15 years ago in Calhoun Street. We have come a long way in this journey over the last 15 years and we are celebrating our 15th Anniversary this weekend on Sunday 30th of June. We were hit by floods twice during this journey and the building was destroyed and renovated first time.When we were again destroyed totally and the building had to be abolished, our religious activities were interrupted and we ended up moving to current location at 8133 Hartzell Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46816. 3 years after we moved to our new place, we were able to build the Sima Hall that was a place, necessary for ordination of monks who are the teachers of Dhamma and meditation. We are celebrating this 15th anniversary to honor those who initiated and founded the monastery and also the community support as well as support from dhamma friends all over the United States and Burma. We also show our respect and appreciate the Sayadaws ( who has sacrificed to travel a long distance from Burma to teach us the Dhamma ).

Venerable Saddha Kawthala
Saddha Kawthala is a Buddhist monk from Burma who has crowned a life of teaching, meditation and wandering with a freshly minted American citizenship and a commitment to the city of Fort Wayne.Digital Daily – subscribe to our daily newsletter Kawthala represents the many thousands of Thai, Burmese, Vietnamese and other Buddhists who now call this city home. He’s transformed a dilapidated house on East Tillman Road into a Buddhist Temple to serve their spiritual needs, focusing on the children. “To understand how to be good, how to be right, how to be unity,” he says. “Next 30-40 years they become good leader for the united states of America.”Kawthala spent years carrying Buddha’s message of meditation and peace to soldiers in Asian war zones, to politicians and dictators, to the continent’s wealthiest and her most impoverished. Before coming toFort Wayne he ministered to gang members in Los Angeles and now has answered a calling among those neighbors of ours who still feel like strangers in a strange land, but who now have one of their own to consul and comfort them, to do for them what the Catholic priest did for the Irish immigrant and the Lutheran minister for the German immigrant, as the great wheel of history turns and the chapters of our story repeat themselves with a new look and a new language and a fresh cast of characters.

Friends of Burma - Neil and Diana Sowards
http://www.friendsofburma.org/
Friends of Burma grew out of a very meaningful experience Neil and Diana Sowards had when they visited Burma in 1985. Neil's parents had worked in Burma as missionaries for over 30 years but he had never visited there. Friends of Burma is dedicated to helping the Christians of Burma in whatever way they want to be helped. About 80% of the Protestants are Baptists, so much of our work is with the Baptists. Christians number about 1.5 million in a country of about 50 million, most of whom are Buddhist. Evangelistic Christianity came to Burma with Adoniram Judson in 1813. Since 1966 no foreign missionaries have been allowed to reside in Burma, so all work is carried on by nationals.
