Ashby and Norbu came along while I got my car serviced (getting ready for New York this week!) so we could spend some time planning our next steps. The sandblasting, with it's looming deadline, kept us working every day, so we had no time to flesh out plans beyond that. We aren't lost though, don't worry! We have repair material and paint for the Enlightenment Stupa already (we need more, but we have enough to get us started). We're trying to work on a larger scale plan that includes not only the completion of the current project, but an ongoing schedule of maintenance and annual festivals around the Stupas. This whole renovation is just the first step in getting them back into shape, so they can be shared with as many beings as possible. We're starting to formulate plans on how to express that invitation to as wide an audience as we can manage, so as many beings as possible can receive their amazing blessings!
