Ven. Panadure Chandaratana Thero commenced a five days long retreat at Mitirigala Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery based on Khaya Sutta in June 2019. It was the 213th residential retreat at the Monastery. This is another important Sutta to the Yogis developing the Path of Nibbana. This retreat was conducted in Sinhala.
