Plan for tomorrow...

As you can see, we've gotten the stripper applied to the Long Life Stupa. Tomorrow we're going to start early, 9 am. We'll be filling water barrels at the temple, then heading up to the site to begin removing the stripper. We can use lots of help scraping the stripper material. Keep in mind, this is messy work and this stuff smells bad, so dress appropriately.

Also keep in mind, however, this is an extraordinary opportunity! How rare to even see a Stupa, much less have the chance to lovingly clean and repair one! The benefits are immeasurable, not only for yourself, but for all beings lost in samsara. So please do join us, even if you don't like messes.

Besides scraping, repair work will continue, as will sanding of the spires of the small Stupas.

In addition we could really use help getting water to the site. This requires a pick up truck with 4 wheel drive. If you can help, you can just show up any time during the morning. It is difficult to contact us during the day, as the site is remote enough cell phones don't work well.

Whether you want to work or just watch, please come visit!
