And stacking up the boxes!
"Bodhisattvas at home should wish that all beings realize that the nature of "home" is empty, and liberate from its burdens."
-"Bồ-Tát ở nhà, nên nguyện chúng sanh, biết nhà tánh không, khỏi sự bức ngặt."
Then shifting them again!
And covering them up!
"Entering a monastery, Bodhisattvas should wish that all beings, Expound various principles, Of noncontention ."(As Pure Conducts)
-"Vào Tăng-già-lam nên nguyện chúng sanh, diễn thuyết các pháp, không tranh không cải."
For a new project!
The platform-after polishing!
At work!
Install the molding!
Wipe out the dirt!
More sanding!
And polishing!
"When entering a hall, Bodhisattvas should wish that all beings, Ascend to the unexcelled sanctuary, And rest there secure, unshakable."(As Pure Conducts)
-"Nếu vào điện đường, nên nguyện chúng sanh, lên nhà vô thượng, an trụ bất động."
A sunset!
Another!
At dusk!
A nice view, as always!
