3. Landscaping and renovating-January 2011:
The cold winter has already come twice. But our work goes on, anyway.Our wooden platform for the Main Hall is done. It looks great! Also, we have finished installing a engineering wooden floor for the small room in the north. It looks nice and cozy.Certainly, it is much warmer than it was with the old ceramic tile floor. Yes, more book shifting and cleaning afterward.
Here are some photos for you:
Welcome!
Happy New Year !
And Best Wishes!

We do have time to view...
The local spectacle!
As cold as it can get!
In different shades!
And warm colors!
Together with peace!
At the reception area!
Books to move...
For installing the baseboards !
"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!
For the wooden floor!
Too much books...
Even for a scholar!
The Wooden Floor-some final touches!
"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."
Done!
After the first round of polishing!
More sanding!
And polishing!
Becoming shiny!
In place!
Balance and Nice!
Reading for paying homages!
And for offerings!
"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!
A new year welcome!
At dusk!

For your Pure Land visualization..in the new year!
A nice view, as always!
