III. Landscaping and renovating - August 2011:
Our plants, including the bamboos and the poinciana trees, appear to do well through many hot and dry days. They look green when I get back from the trips. Thank you all for watering them and for taking care of the lawn when we were away. Merits to all! Now, we need to feed them with more top soils and water. Hoping that you can come and help out! The renovation of the inside continues.
Here are some photos for you:
Welcome!
And Best Wishes!
At peace-The base --a gift from the Singaporean Buddhists!"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."
At Dawn!
Sun rises!
Morning!
It rains!
With cool rain water!
