New way to celebrate Eid al-Adha

For the first time in Morocco, monks from Dhammakaya Temple were invited to celebrate the first Sunday of the month in the capital city, Rabat, from 7-11 December 2008. Phra Somsak Piyasilo and Phra Nicholas Thanissaro accepted the invitation of the Thornsberry family to lead meditation for the ex-pat Western and Thai communities in Morocco. With the possibility of organizing meditation teaching in local schools, the next visit by a monk is expected in February 2009.
