At the invitation of Ajahn Sumedho and Ajahn Nyanadhammo (also in this video) Ahba has blessed the relics of the new hall in Wat Ratanawan in 2012. Earlier we posted a video of Ahba’s paritta chant during this occasion.
In this video ‘iti pi so‘ is chanted 38x and you can see how the relics are carried by the beautiful temple.
