The M90, which can be used on both verticle and horizontal surfaces, is suitable for areas which require fill. It can be sculpted, in fact, must be sculpted. We apply it by over-building. It then sits for a few hours, and then gets scraped down gently into the desired shape. In our case, as we are using it for repairs (can be used to sculpt relief work) we shape it to be level with the existing wall. Lisa is our developing expert...

We wrapped up for the day after this. It's going to take some time to repair this Stupa, but it's an awesome opportunity! It's a great way to get lots of folks involved, even for short periods! This Stupa is located right next to the parking lot, easy to get to. Water and power a cord or hose away (unlike our other sites, where logistics are much more complex). So please consider joining us for some of this! We'll all be back out on Wednesday (that pesky need to earn a living thing creeping back up...). The prayer chart is going to be under the stewardship of a fresh set of volunteers next week, so we can actually plan our days! Tomorrow, Sunday, we've decided to again begin setting aside for teachings and practice. I'll post a few shots of a typical Sunday tomorrow!

Do consider coming out during this repair phase though! It's a great way to generate tons of merit in a really short time! We'll give you everything you need! If you can't come to Poolesville, your prayers and joy are welcome! We're doing all of this for all beings, everywhere. It is our sincerest wish that our activities place every one of you in unending joy!
