I'm ending here with a photo of the crew right before we left for Alabama. This was nearly two weeks ago now! How amazing...You can see that though only a few of us actually made the trek, there were many that supported us. In fact, this is not nearly everyone! This effort is a collaboration between KPC and many other Buddhist Centers. These efforts continue, though I myself have turned my attention back to my primary responsibility (there are many working on the Katrina Relief, few of us working to complete the Stupas!).

The Stupas are a constant offering to the world, and all of us on the Stupa Crew are devoted to ensuring they remain in the world to benefit beings for generations. They are here locally, for anyone willing to travel to Poolesville (no need to go to India or Nepal!), and are a potent source of blessings. They bring healing, peace of mind, prosperity, just by being around them. No effort or special understanding required. You can offer those benefits to any and all beings you pray for too! So come on out and try it for yourself! The weather's great these days...
