Retreat Day Walkabout
Right before the whirlwind of spiritual activity hits the monastery, there is a sort-of calm that sweeps in. If you aren't looking you will miss it, move too fast you won't even know it came, it lasts an eternity but it's gone in an instant.
We rarely do these type of posts, but they are often the most desired. The farniente, or "do nothing", of the monastery doesn't happen much on the outside but we caught a glimpse for those who have begged the monk-papparazi--you know who you are.

I love the news posts. It’s great that you all are doing so much. The farming and hydroponic operations are inspiring to my wife and I.
Thank you.

Thank you for the tour. It was almost as good as being there. As Roshan says, “Beautiful happy memories.” I’m especially intrigued by the hydroponics & hope for more details later.
