This week, we celebrated Buddha’s birthday and enlightenment with a day of four meditation sessions – two with 16. Karmapa and two with individual practice – and an inspiring evening lecture by Patricia about the life stories of Nagarjuna and Saraha.
Alex and Miki removed the old carpet from the entrance, Claudius went over the floor with a sander and Beate in the end treated the fresh wood with strong lacquer. Eleonore took the big task of sorting out all the keys left in the house and finding the right key holes everywhere (it took several days!). The Plamber boys prepared the big parking lot outside the entrance. The local construction company put fine earth and spread grass seeds in the backyard where they had dug a big hole some weeks ago. And everybody initiated the freshly renovated eating room after tea and talk after Thursday night meditation. Now we look forward to the big team weekend – around 100 team members will come to continue work on our big summer course.
