Here's the concrete pour for the foundation. Norbu, try not to be jealous (he's always hoping for more able bodied guys to join the project!), we'll make it even without all the extra muscles! : ) I'm posting these "archival" images in order to show all that the work you see on these pages has roots from many years ago. Those you see today are the ones that actually built the Stupa, as you can see, from scratch. They are are members of our "sangha" or spiritual family. They are not hired, were not paid, and as you see now and will see in the future, coming together with the desire to bring such huge benefit to beings (none of us may be experts, but we all know how potent Stupas are!) empowers people from all different walks of life, backgrounds and experience levels to come to accomplish unbelievable things!
