In addition to the residents that have overtaken the gau, the foliage around it threatens creep back up around the Stupa itself. We'll be giving this precious Stupa some TLC soon, once we get the Enlightenment Stupa and Stupa Park up to speed. Here you see Ani Dawa and Christine, who flew out from Arizona to attend the teaching with Khenpo Norgey in New York last week. They insisted on seeing this Stupa before leaving, as it was the first Stupa that started this whole renovation. Shortly after this walk around the Stupa we were headed to Dulles to send them back to Arizona, where their enormous energy and talent is sorely missed. We here are all grateful for their stories and inspiring words. They have accomplished amazing things in Arizona (check out the Arizona KPC page to see the Stupa they were key players in constructing), and aren't done yet! : ) What a joy to be able to carry on their loving work here, sharing this amazing blessing with so many new folks!
