In recent weeks I have enjoyed many beautiful gatherings and experiences. Pretty much one long happy photo-op; I came home with more than 500 new photos on my cellphone! just a drop in the bucket of the many photos grabbed all around me. A selection of these many photos will be randomly trickling in, so heres the sequential order to help you make sense of the mass of images: - In early October 2014 we enjoyed an end of Vassa program here at Charlotte Buddhist Vihara; - We held a formal Kathina program Oct 12th at the SC temple with bhikkhuni friends who traveled from afar to join me in supporting Ayya Sudinnas communitys merit making Kathina offerings; - Oct 20-24th, The 20th annual Western Buddhist Monastic Gathering, the interfaith gathering of Buddhist monks & nuns which I had helped to organize this year (hosted by Deer Park Monastery, Ven. Thich Nhat Hahns center in Escondido CA); - Oct 23rd, As part of the monastic gathering, a Walk to raise funds for Buddhist Global Relief. (BGR carefully chooses excellent ways to invest money into households to prevent hunger, give women autonomy and offer education and prevent prostitution of children.) - Oct 25th-26th, The grand Kathina ceremonies at ABS Temple, the Sri Lankan monks monastery in Sacramento, involving 25 monks & nuns; - A visit with my nun friends of Dhammadharini community in Santa Rosa and then deep amongst the Redwoods near Jenner CA, also with a group almsround through downtown Sebastapol; - Nov 1st, 2014, The ordination of our friend now Ayya Jayati Bhikkhuni at Aloka Vihara in the hills between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. I returned home radiating the goodness in which I have steeped surrounded by my loving, virtuous fellows in the holy life, and over-brimming with joy from the beautiful activities -- dear Sister Jayatis joyful ordination and many other memorably heart-warming interactions and special moments.
