3. Landscaping and renovating - February 2011:
The weather is warmer. But the winter is still around.
We are happy with the progress. Now, the place is more suitable for our meditative practice,
There are plenty of cleaning up and shifting around after finishing the wooden platform for the Main Hall and wooden floor for the small room in the north. The old bathroom in the north looks much nicer with the new cabinet and sink.
Here are some photos for you:
Welcome!
A New Year Greeting !
Happy New Year !

At home !
With compassion!
Almost done!
"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."
