Two weeks of the summer break are over and we are back to our usual schedule. It was heartening to start the fall with so many people in the zendo during that early morning sitting – we have a much stronger team now: Keith Carpenter, who many of you know, moved to live with us, and a new resident from Florida, Teresa Sellers, arrived yesterday evening after an “easy”, as she puts it, 11-hour drive. Theresa brought with her a surprise guest: a bronze Buddha (more details to come). Now, doesn’t he look just like someone you saw in our zendo???
The Florida Buddha found his place on the main floor with the beautiful mountain view behind his back. The old, wooden Buddha used this and sneaked out to take a breath of fresh air. He now sits by our entrance door, peacefully smiling to all visitors – and this means all visitors, not only human visitors – even the dog Cricket who you can see in the photo here with her happy, patient owners…
