Sadly I was unable to go to this event, which was apparently attended by 1000 people. Ajahn Sumedho is retiring in Thailand.

There's a link to Ajahn Sumedho's farewell Dhamma talk in the brief article at the link.

I liked this comment he made:

" The Buddhist teaching is ultimate simplicity and it takes things to the the most simple level of pure awareness -and that's so simple that most people never really get it. We have to make Buddhism more complex -especially for lay people!"
