I found the sun setting behind the Stupa when I pulled up in the parking lot. If there had been any moment of doubt about the usefulness of all the effort today it melted away in the view of such constant beauty. The Stupas are here, continuously offering blessings, always ready for weary travelers looking for a place to rest, or curious seekers wondering what all this is about! I experienced D.C. Metro traffic today first hand, I know what it is like. I'm hoping that these photos help inspire you to make the journey anyway, knowing that at the other end of all that stress and frustration, is peace. This refuge we offer is free, it is here 24 hours a day, and it doesn't require any knowledge or experience to bring benefit!
