It is a real pleasure for me to host the gathering of ‘Thai adoption UK’ every year here at Buddhapadipa Temple. Being present at this meeting and giving blessings to children is something that gives me personal pleasure and which I have done regularly now over many years. It is wonderful to see the same children growing bigger and bigger every time I see them. I hope that the children consider Buddhapadipa temple to be like their home They and their parents are, of course, always welcome to visit the temple any time they wish. Visits to the temple do not have to be restricted to just this one annual meeting!
This year, many children came with their adoptive parents. Seeing how much joy these families generate brings us all such great pleasure. Although of Thai heritage, these children are now very much sons and daughters of the UK which can be seen in how easily they have adapted to their British life and culture. Be happy and healthy boys and girls.
See you next time.
