Today we had the good fortune to accompany Ajahn Saen and his entourage on a visit to his hermitage in the jungle-covered mountains about 45 minutes north of Wat Nong Bua.
Built some 20 years ago, I was told that the former temple was finally abandoned about four years ago and fell into disrepair. Perhaps a year ago, some restoration work was done, and this past vassa, Ajahn Saen began using it as a quiet place of retreat.
Sitting on a rather isolated ~5 acre plot of land accessible by a steep 4WD drive, this tiny hermitage seems a delightful venue for a meditation retreat.
